The screenplay and the plot are par excellence, that's why I choose this project too as I believe In doing projects which excite me."

Donal elaborated on her role: "I've always wanted to be a psychologist as a kid and my background in the subject helped me get the nuances right. It's a very gratifying role, especially because I had to portray many emotions, there are 10 people in the show, and with all the 10 people, Kavya acts differently. Her equation with every character is totally different.
