On associating with the film Kirti Kulhari in a statement shared how she could instantly relate to her character Sasha. “An unapologetic, strong and confident young woman who lives life on her own terms, strives to shatter stereotypes, and isn’t worried about being judged by anyone,” she said describing her character. She said Shaadisthan is not only an entertaining movie but also holds a mirror to the society and the conditioning it imposes on people and how people live by it as if it’s their truth.
Director Raj Singh Chaudhary stated, “Shaadisthan is a really special movie to me as it is inspired by a story in my own life. The movie is well crafted in a way that the audiences can find their bits of entertainment while understanding an important social issue. Each character in the movie is unique and celebrates its own individualism and all the other elements of the movie are inspired by real life scenarios.”
Kirti Kulhari was last seen in the Parineeti Chopra-starrer The Girl on the Train, which released on Netflix earlier this year.
