The Queen actress further added, "While I was on roll, he was still auditioning and told me that I have found a crystal clear accent that I was looking for in Hyderabad. So, obviously, he has rejected me long ago."

The Manikarnika star further revealed that when Ranvijay sir gave her the script he said "your voice is a very important part of your personality, and your voice is half of your performace. So you have to learn to speak Tamil." She added that she took it as a challenge, but he rejected her.
