With Ranbir, Alia and Bachchan sir.’ I said ‘Yeah, of course.’ He asked ‘When are you back?’ and. I said ‘I’m back in a week.’ So, I came back and I still remember that first meeting with Ayan and you know, I was performing that same evening at an award function I remember. So, I asked him if the meeting is going to take a lot of time. So, he said, ‘No, it won’t, it will probably take like 10 minutes.’ So, I was like, okay, but then I went in for the meeting. I remember coming out of the meeting after three and a half hours.”

The actress said, “So, Ayan and me kind of got talking. And he kind of explained to me the world of Brahmastra and how he had conceptualized it, how he’d be working for it for many years. And I was immediately drawn into the world and as he tells everybody, in fact, I came on board as a special appearance to it becoming lengthier role to me becoming the antagonist and the main villain in the film. So, it has been a journey even after me coming on board in the film.”
