Taapsee's spontaneity impresses Shoojit Sircar

In the film, Taapsee Pannu is paired with Amit Sadh of Kai Po Che! fame, who recommended her name to the filmmaker. "There were little doubts in my mind, but I think Amit (Sadh) was quite clear and he told me about Taapsee. When I met Taapsee Pannu, all my doubts were gone and I thought Taapsee was absolutely bang on as a cast," Sircar said in an interview.
