Thanking her fans the South actress stated, "I thank my audience first of all for giving me with such an opportunity.

And today if I am able to say that this is my best work till date then it's solely because of the team that I worked with. Nandini (the director of the film) is like a sister to me. I trusted her, her work and the passion that she has for towards the craft and that would be seen on screen when the movie will be released."
