Speaking at the film's Pratham Sankalp event in New Delhi on Saturday, the Premam actress discussed portraying the role of Sita Mata and how challenging it was to capture the essence of a goddess. She said, “It's not easy for actors to get roles like this because it's not easy to play a goddess. There must be a team putting their heart and soul into making it the best version.”

“I don't think I chose to play Sita Maa. I was blessed to play this role. It's not something that you can go after or something you can write down and say, ‘This is how I want to play it.’ I would sit and meditate and say, ‘Sita Maa, you act through me. Whatever comes through me is what you want for the film,’” Pallavi said.
