With Dongri Danger, Sumaira joins hands with Sumukhi Suresh, who is the director of the special. Previously, the duo has worked on multiple projects together, including the Amazon Original Series Pushpavalli where Sumukhi played the lead role, while Sumaira was one of the writers of the show.
Talking about working with Sumukhi and their bond, Sumaira said, “I worked with her on a lot of writing projects and Pushpavalli on Amazon Prime Video was my first one with her as a writer. I really like her comedy. I saw Behati Naak on Youtube and I was instantly a fan of her comedy style. I was just starting my career in comedy at that point and that gave me the inspiration and I thought that I want to do something like this. So I reached out to her and we started talking. I realized that our backgrounds are also very similar. We had similar experiences growing up. I really cherish my friendship with her.”
