In a recent chat, Sangeeth Shobhan, while elaborating on his experience of working with child actors Anirudh Nama, Devansh Nama had interesting insights to share. “I've only done 2-3 scenes with the kids and my fond memory is that they are absolute brats. They are monsters, but they're also very cute. But again, at that age, everyone is like that, so they're supposed to be like that,” he said.

“Child actors should boss around other people. So, it is very cute. But to get the performance out of them, I have to give kudos to the director (Santosh Kata) for that. It was fun to work with them because they have this innocence because they don't understand what is happening, what is shooting, and what is acting. I think they come with no baggage. It's really nice to see that,” the actor added.
