Jyotika plays a mother in the film. Talking about her role, the actor said, "There are a lot of sequences in the film that ignite motherhood, and I don't know if I want to reveal them, but one of them was a very important reason why I said yes to this film also. I think throughout, it was a constant that the film reminded you of how responsible one has to be with a teenage daughter and what role a mother and father play in the protective journey of their kids."
