As per the report, Ahmed pointed out that since Sanjana handled the character of Kizie with great maturity in the Sushant Singh Rajput's Dil Bechara, she is perfectly suited for the part in Om.

Speaking about the film, Sanjana added that she explored multiple scripts but Om allowed her the spectrum jump she was looking for and gave her an entirely unchartered territory of a big commercial action flick.

In the film, Sanjana plays Kavya, who she describes as being a confident, hardworking, sharp, empathetic and brave girl.

According to a report in DNA, Sanjana said that her character Kavya is someone every young Indian girl aspires to be. Adding that the character is nothing like anyone has seen in celluloid before, she said she is excited to bring her to life.

The actor added that it is testing and pushing her physically and mentally but it is extremely thrilling.

“Getting to work with Adi is the best part of it all, he’s working so hard for the film and is going to shine," she revealed.
