While speaking to Hindi Rush, Isha recalled getting slapped by Nagarjuna, and said, "I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, methodical way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn’t feel it. This was my second film, so I told him, ‘Nag, you really need to slap me.’ He asked, ‘Are you sure? No, I can’t.’ I replied, ‘I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.’ So he slapped me, but softly."
