Talking about her preparation for the role in the movie, Bidita shared: "It was very, very hard for me but I knew I had to prove myself as an actor. The preparation for this film was a painful process for me emotionally. For media and people to love my character, I prepared really hard. It was not easy because I am not like her (Daya Bai). I was trying to find a body language, posture and voice command."

Daya Bai is a social activist from Kerala who works for the tribal people of central India. She is based in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district and is currently working for the betterment of the Gond tribe. In the past, she had been associated with the Narmada Bachao Andolan.
