Raj opened up on the same saying Sam plays the role of a soldier who is living under harsh and edgy circumstances. "It’s really the character. At the end of it, if we look down upon such things in the context of beauty by saying somebody is dark, somebody is fair, here she is a soldier. She is a warrior, a weapon, a person who is living under harsh, rough, and edgy circumstances. So, it’s like how she learnt to fight so convincingly, I don’t know if you have seen a female character fight so convincingly before, all credits to Samantha, the idea was to make her into that." He added saying it was just the right get up and nothing to do with the beauty.
On the other hand, DK said Samantha had to look a certain way and it was a whole packaging. "There is no commentary about the skin colour. This is just the way she is," the filmmaker stated in an interview with FC.
