Actor Kiara Advani said, “What they [Akshya Kumar and Vidya Balan] done, those shoes are too big to fill in. We are not even attempting to fill in those shoes. We’re just trying to do our work, the best we can. And, this is a franchise, this is not a remake, so I am not playing that character. Yes, there is a Manjulika. I cannot give away the suspense of the film but, I think they were the inspiration and, we’ve tried to do our best at these characters sir has written for us.”
