The film also features Ishaan’s mother and veteran actress Neelima Azeem. Ishaan shared a snippet from the scene that features his mother and he wrote an emotional note on Instagram. He began the post by writing, “I saw my mother on screen today in Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare.” He added in his post, “You are beautiful as ever mom. Such intricacy and delicateness. Such humaneness. I can’t explain what watching this single scene did to me. I cried like a baby after watching it. It’s always lovely to see wonderful people coming together for a film but this time it’s personal. My mother made an appearance for one scene and moved me to tears.”

In his post, Ishaan Khatter also acknowledged the film’s stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Bhumi Pednekar, along with the film’s director and the supporting cast. “Best of luck and congratulations on the release to the entire team of the film,” he added.
