I was scared to even attempt this, but I chose this film to get over my mental block.”
Often appreciated for picking up diverse characters, Pannu describes this as the “most challenging role” of her career so far, she adds, “Her life is far removed from what I have played so far. I have built her from scratch drawing upon my observations of her.”
