She said that it has been a learning experience to explore new facets of the entertainment industry which they kind off missed in the past.

Sharing his experience about working on 'Choices', Indraneil said that they thought it was a good chance for them to express themselves creatively and get involved in a good project. He said that the story of the film interesting, human, contemporary, and beautifully written.

Indraneil said that it is tougher than it sounds, but altogether, it has been a very enjoyable learning experience. He has learnt and realized a lot of hard work goes on at every level in the filmmaking process, and he has developed more respect for everyone. 

Revealing the ideation behind making Choices, Damini, the writer and director of the film said that the idea came out of having no choice. She started working on the script with the excitement of doing something creative and passionate amid the lockdown. That is when it struck Damini that why not make a full-length feature film in the same timeline. At first, it looked like an impossible idea, to begin with. Though it began as a small experiment, it went on to take the shape of something much bigger and better. 

Choices is written by Damini K Shetty, while it is directed by Damini and Raaj Shetty. Apart from Barkha and Indraneil the film also has Karanvir Mehra and Deeksha Sonalkar in cameo appearances.
