One fan commented, "As a millennial, it feels so cool and nostalgic, and proud! I'm pretty sure you were the most talented actor in that group." Another said, “Such diverse roles. Common thread - all dignified!" Another wrote, "So looking forward to it."

Shabana has a lead role in Halo based on the popular video game series of the same name. She had earlier told HuffPost India in an interview, "My agent in London had approached me for the role. Initially there was a date clash but thankfully things went well. This is completely new territory for me as it is artificial. Intelligence is related. When my nephew first found out he went o-m-g. Now, that expression alone has restored my faith in my own celebrity."
She had confirmed that the role was not a small one. “I want to be relevant. I don’t want to be relics in the museum. My nephews and other kids in the family are helping me understand Hello, video games,” she said.
