For the character of Vaiju, I have taken inspiration from legendary actress Smita Patil. Though having unconventional looks, Smita Patil aced it with simplicity and elegance, and this is something I imbibe from Smita Patil for my character Vaiju. Smita Patil has been the epitome of embodying grace, fearlessness, effortlessness, and poise. She has truly been an inspiration for me, and with my character Vaiju, I want the audience to witness a glimpse of Smita Patil in Vaiju and to make Vaiju an inspiration for others.”
