Vidya lauded the makers of the film was their detailed scheduling.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Vidya said, “I think I have to give this to Yash Raj because there could have been a lot of chaos, we were 16 girls, not easy to handle us. There was detailing to the point where they had one aunty for us who knew when our periods would come, where we could not maybe do the shots of running around in the field, where one could get a breather because they are on their period and they could do something else… It was so beautifully planned like that. That needs to be given to Yash Raj.”
