Priya Anand had acted in films like Vaamanan and Pugaipadam. She while speaking about 180 said,"Acting in 180 was a good experience. I am donning the role of a NRI girl. My role is very bubbly.
This film will be totally different from my earlier films. By acting in this film I have learnt a lot of things about cinema. Every body knows that director Jayendra is a protégé of Manirathnam sir. As far as this film is concerned there will be importance to the story as well as the characters.
Music and visuals are secondary. All the roles in this film have significance. There will be no simply going and coming. My role is equivalent to the role of the other heroine Nithya Menon. You can understand this if you see the film. There is a question that how I was selected for this film. I had acted in a Telugu film titled Leader.
The executive producer of this film phoned and told me that a film titled 180 is to commence and asked me to meet the 180 team. I met them. They had an audition for me. I was selected. Apart from Siddarth, every body in this film was selected through audition only. Director Jayendra has not seen my films nor Nithya Menon’s film. Since we suited his story, we were selected."
