Talking about the film, Kirti said, "Rest Of The Night is about being stuck mentally and emotionally. It’s about relationships and how they give us so much, but also take away so much."

Elaborating on the essence of the story, the actress said that the story captures the emotional nuances of a woman who is unable to move on and find closure. "The film emphasises on the need to take care of one’s mental health and how it’s important to express and share your emotions," she also added.

Speaking about her character in the film, Kirti said, "It’s a complex character and I love playing such roles." She also added that as an actress, she is on a constant search to push the envelope and to find a deeper meaning in her performances.
