An action thriller helmed by Hansal Mehta,  Faraaz  is based on the Holey Artisan cafe attack that shook Bangladesh in July 2016.

Pallak was chosen for the role after an audition.

 "I have been auditioning for a while with MCC (Mukesh Chhabra Casting). I was actually travelling when I got a call for this project.  I had to shoot my audition clip outdoors with my friends who gave me cues and helped me record a self-test. Within a week's time I got  a call and was locked in for the part,''Pallak said.

The actress,  who is the daughter of noted television actor Jiten Lallwani, says that working with Hansal Mehta has been a learning experience for her.

"It was an amazing experience working with Hansal Sir, and I'm grateful to have commenced my journey in this industry with him. I absolutely loved being on sets, it felt like home. Hansal Sir gave us all a bit of freedom to explore our characters in our own unique manner. Before we were on sets, we had gruelling workshops and sessions that went on for months. Working on the project has been an amazing and fruitful learning experience for me and I sincerely hope I'm a part of many other projects with him in the future,'Pallak said.

Faraaz marks the Bollywood debut of Shashi Kapoor's grandson Zahaan Kapoor.
With the film, Aditya Rawal  gets his big break  after his debut in the film Bamfaad, released last year.
