Dulquer Salmaan, the film's producer, revealed in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India how his and Kalyani's fathers were first concerned about the movie but are now proud of it. Salmaan said, "Her dad didn’t expect it. He was like, ‘What were you thinking? Why would you take this bet? I told him honestly — I didn’t know. I just believed in the idea. It felt right. My dad (veteran actor Mammootty) was worried too. They all thought we were a little mad, but they’re very proud now."
Kalyani Priyadarshan recalled her father's reaction after the film heaped praises and generated revenue at the box office. "The first message he sent me after everything blew up was, ‘Don’t let success get to your head and don’t let failure get to your heart.’ He says it often, but this time he sent it as a reminder, and he keeps reminding me every day. That’s what I hold on to,"she shared.
