She said, “Working on a film based in a different era, the time period is very interesting. There’s a different texture, language, art, fashion that is truly exciting to be on sets for. It makes you slow down and observe things differently as an actor, because everything from the way people spoke to how they expressed emotions was so different.”

The actress, who is the daughter of filmmaker-actor Mahesh Manjrekar added: “Even the costumes and the overall environment help you stay in that world, and that really adds to the performance.”

Backed by Ram Charan in his debut production venture, the project is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Mounted on a big canvas, the film delves into a compelling period narrative.

Talking about Saiee, she made her film debut with a brief appearance as Kushi Damle in the Marathi film Kaksparsh in 2012.
