Talking about it, Malishka said, I first met Vidya at St. Xaviers College when I was a noob and she was already heading exalted Performance Committees for Malhar. I have fond memories with her and she is among the sweetest and most positive people Ive met. I bumped into her repeatedly when she was at ad shoots and while I was still deciding which part of the media I wanted to join. Unbelievable how life comes a full circle. Vidya and I are back in each others lives. I was delighted to receive a call from Atul (Kasbekar) and Tanuj (Garg) to be a part of this beautiful fun film. I hope for a lifetime of brushes with cinema because I am a performer. Ive always wanted to act and God knows that I lose no opportunity to be one in front of the people that know me or on stage. But to be able to do a film with an actor of such substance is a privilege. I cannot wait to rock and roll!! she added.
