"I picked up reading materials and even researched her on the Internet in order to learn more about her and that period. I tried a few things while acting but the main inputs came from the director and the team... Through the process, he [Siddaram Karnik] researched Ramabai as well. That’s how the script was written. We shot at the exact locations where Ramabai stayed. Major portions were shot in Dharwad and Karwar"
