‘Female Gaze’ added new perspective
While speaking about Geetu Mohandas’ filmmaking approach, Yash explained that women often observe situations and emotions differently.

We miss out on a lot of emotions or a lot of things. Maybe what matters to us may not be what they focus on in a situation. So that perspective becomes so refreshing, layered and deep,” Yash said.According to the actor, this approach changed the emotional texture of several scenes in the film.
