Nitin Manmohan’s daughter Prachi confirmed in a report that Riva has been signed on for the film. She said, “Ravi sir and my family have a common friend in Moin Baig who showed us Riva’s pictures and she looked right for the part of a bubbly small-town girl. She really liked the script and immediately came on board.”
Ravi Kishan‘s daughter Riva is very excited about her big Bollywood debut. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, she said that “I was traveling to Los Angeles and London when I got a call from Baig uncle informing that Nitin uncle wanted to meet me for a film. One of dad’s first movies, Army, too was with Nitin’s uncle. I’m enjoying the journey and learning so much from it. This film is like an unexpected gift.”
It was a great pleasant surprise for the upcoming actress when she got to know that Akshaye Khanna will be her co-star in the movie. She went on to add, “Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn’t have imagined it. He gave me so much confidence and warmth, made everything easy for me,”
She also commented on the obvious question of nepotism and said, “I’ll get a maximum of three films because of my dad, but who’s going to invest in me after that? It’s my talent that will help me survive. My father has never watched me act; neither in my theatre days when I worked with Naseer sir (Naseeruddin Shah) nor during my acting workshops. The first time he saw me act was in the film’s trailer. He was like ‘this kid from my own house is now a star.”
