With Maa Behen receiving positive responses from viewers, director Suresh Triveni has opened up about working with Triptii Dimrii and revealed that Animal’s success had initially left him worried. In an interview with NDTV, Triveni recalled that he had approached Triptii for Maa Behen before Animal was released. According to him, he and writer Pooja Tulani travelled to Bhopal to narrate the script while the actress was shooting for Dhadak 2.


Suresh Triveni ADMITS Animal’s success made him worry about Triptii Dimri’s commitment to Maa Behen: “She’s gone through so much in terms of being judged”
Speaking about the experience, Triveni said, “She is a dream. She is one of the easiest people I’ve ever worked with. She shows up, she has no hang-ups, she’s a big star right now, and I remember I had locked her a month before Animal. We had gone to her when she was shooting for Dhadak 2 – Pooja Tulani, my writer, and I flew to Bhopal to narrate the script. And she readily agreed. After a month, Animal was a superhit.”
The director admitted that the film‘s massive success made him wonder whether Triptii would still want to be part of his project. “My fear was whether she would end up doing my film, the tiny little film that we’re trying to do. So my messages with her are terrific. I asked her, are you doing this film or not? And she would say, ‘Sir…’ There is a certain chill vibe about her. In fact, there is zero stress, at least what she shows on her face,” he said.
Triveni also spoke about how Triptii has handled public scrutiny over the years. According to him, she has developed a calm and balanced approach despite facing criticism and judgments at different stages of her career. “She’s gone through so much in terms of being judged. She’s moved beyond it. She’s reached a Zen state, or at least she pretends to. And the best part about her is she’s a completely dedicated student. But at the same time, she’s a big, what do you call it? Between the three of them, she’s the biggest mastikur. I thought Dharna would be, but she’s the biggest,” he added.
Maa Behen, which also stars Madhuri Dixit, Dharna Durgaa and Ravi Kishan, has enjoyed a strong start on Netflix. Within a week of its release, the crime-comedy debuted at the second spot on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films chart and trended across 15 countries, including markets in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
