Talking about her character Lubna says, "I am playing Radha and the role of Shyam will be essayed by Harsh Chayya. The other artists are Neelu Dogra playing Rukmini, Anangsha Sengupta playing Satyabhama and Rajiv Kumar who will play Arjun."

Lubna adds, "We will be enacting three crucial excerpts from the book. The play will be coordinated with a kathak performance by the Kalash Ray group."
