About casting couch Neena Gupta wrote, “One day, one of my friend told me to go visit a producer who was a big shot in the south. He was staying at the hotel. When I reached to the hotel, I called the producer from a phone in the lobby. The producer said, ‘Come on upstairs’.” When I reached there, I asked him about my role, he replied, ‘The heroine’s friend,’. When the producer explained it to me, it seemed like a very small part.
But I said to him ok, and I also said, ‘My friends are waiting for me. I am going now’ he asked me, ‘ Where?’ Are not you going to spend the night here?’”
