Talking about the film, and her role in it, Bhumi  told Asian News International, “This is my way of promoting parity in society. I have always wanted my work to speak about societal parity right from my first film Dum Laga Ke Haisha, in which I was playing this beautiful, confident, young overweight girl who was comfortable in her own skin,” the 30-yea-old actor said. “I am doing something similar in Bala, where I am playing a dark-skinned girl. I am not a social activist. I am just somebody who cares, somebody who is aware. I am somebody who truly wants to make a difference.”
