Raashi Khanna is an Indian actress and model who predominantly acts in the Telugu film industry. She was born on November 30, 1990 in New Delhi, India.

She had to undergo acting workshops before taking up the role. The film—particularly the story and direction—impressed most Indian critics. Reviewing the film, Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV stated that Khanna "makes an impact in a brief but significant appearance".

Khanna initially felt that it would be more of a dancing role with little scope for acting when approached for narration but found her character practically in every scene in the film. She called her character Prabhavati "grey, stubborn, arrogant but in a lovable way" which she claimed to be very different from what she was in real life except for the fact that she hails from Delhi.

Khanna received moderate reviews from critics. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stating that she provides solace along with Kishan, Brahmanandam and Saptagiri in a film which was "let down by incoherent writing and amateurish execution".
