Speaking about casting Shruti Kalsekar, Mrinal said, ���Shruti had acted in my son Virajas��� play a few years ago. I knew she was good but then I was skeptical. What if she has lost her milk-teeth or will she be looking as good as she was looking four-five years ago. Finally when I saw her I was convinced that I had got my young Rama.���
