In a recent interview, the actress shared an interesting behind-the-scenes experience from the sets of the film and revealed how director Geetu Mohandas encouraged her to completely immerse herself in the character.
Speaking to Bombay Times, Kiara said that the director instructed her to avoid interacting with anyone on set before filming certain scenes
“Geetu is like, okay, tomorrow when you come on set, I want you to be… and I’m a person when I walk on set I’m always like, ‘Hi, what’s up, good morning’, I’m that person. And she’s like, ‘I don’t want pleasantries, I want you to come in that zone, no hi hello, not your team, nobody, just be in a zone today’,” Kiara shared.

According to the unverified reports, the actress felt the scene had exceeded what was originally discussed with the filmmakers and allegedly wanted it shortened or removed altogether.
However, Kiara firmly denied the rumours. Reacting to the claims on her Instagram Stories, the actress wrote, “Absolute nonsense.”
