Talking about her experience across different industries in Indian cinema, she had previously shared that Bollywood is “a lot more organised”. She told Hindustan Times, “What I do like about the Hindi film industry is that schedules are thoroughly adhered to. So, you’re aware of which scene you’re shooting for on a particular day and that lets you prepare well. For instance, if there’s a song being shot on the tenth day of the schedule, I know that I’ve to physically prep for it a couple of days prior.

Malaika had also starred alongside Ishaan Khatter in the 2017 film, Beyond The Clouds.
