In a throwback interview with the Hindustan Times, Kiara Advani opened up about portraying the role of Sakshi Singh Dhoni and shared that she was in awe of her after she had the first telephonic conversation with the latter. Talking about the same, Kiara shared that Sakshi was so approachable and grounded that she never felt like she was talking to her for the first time. In her words:
"She was so approachable and grounded. I felt like I knew this girl from before. She was like any other young girl in her 20s, totally unfazed by all the hype that surrounds her. I wanted to connect with her, understand her, how she thought, felt and bring out those traits in my character. She was with her daughter, so honestly, my eyes just went on the baby. But I could feel an instant mirror effect, and that's when I realised why I have been chosen for this role. Also, I was not star-struck meeting MS Dhoni, but I was totally awestruck by her."
