Speaking to PinkVilla, the actress said, "I'm glad 'Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway' is showing us that a content film can be a theatrical film in a post-pandemic world, I believe that as an industry, we should focus on making films that touch people's hearts rather than worrying about which genres will work on the big screen and which will not."
