Preity Mukhundhan has been gaining attention in the South Indian film industry. She made her acting debut with the Telugu horror-comedy Om Bheem Bush in 2024 and has since appeared in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam projects. Her Malayalam film credits also include Maine Pyar Kiya, where she starred opposite Hridhu Haroon.

The makers were looking for a fresh face for the role, and Preity reportedly fit the character perfectly. The film is expected to showcase a humorous and lively side of her performance, adding an interesting dynamic to the story. Earlier, there were reports that young actress Pratibha Ranta was playing this role, but it seems they were all baseless.
