An associate of famous Telugu director, Puri Jagannadh has written the film’s script. Nimika says she had mixed reactions when she first heard the title.

The actor who is working on her first full-fledged romantic drama believes titles play an important role in garnering audience who have a certain kind of curiosity on the kind of film.
Having shot for 10 days in Bengaluru, Nimika is also juggling shoot between Prajwal Devaraj’s yet-to-be-titled film, directed by Ramnarayan.

“I’ve walked the ramp for international shows. But later, I started focusing on films. This fashion photoshoot for an international magazine marks my second entry to modelling,” says Nimika, adding, “I now want to model and movies going hand in hand with it,” says the actor.
