A part of the caption explaining the idea behind the dreamy images says, “Her reflection is Krishna, her shadow is Krishna, her name is Krishna, she looks at her arms and they seem blue to her. If Krishna is the moon, Radha is its light.”

Torani painted Tamannaah’s body in a blue shade to depict how Radha is fully immersed in Kanha’s love. As for the jewellery, they chose gold and emerald polki pieces, including a choker necklace, jhumkis, kadhas, and a mang tika. Hair tied in a bun and adorned with a gajra, darkened brows, kohl-lined eyes, a red bindi, pink lip shade, and mascara-adorned lashes rounded off the makeup.
In a clip, Karan Torani said he wanted an actor to depict what ‘Radha’s soul was discovering and feeling throughout those stages of love’. They said, “Right after the first phone call, Tamannaah told me ‘I surrender myself to you’. For me, that was the most essential in confidently placing her as Radha; I needed someone to have that faith, knowing ~ I would not do injustice to this story, or to them.”
