Anushka says it was important for her to get their pronunciation and tone of the dialect right. As part of her preparation, she also took part in a language workshop. But it was the day to day interaction with these female wrestlers that helped her speak the language accurately.

“Pure Haryanvi is a really rustic and different dialect, you can’t really understand it. For the film, I worked on getting the right accent. Speaking to female wrestlers was the best training, for speaking daily works well in language related preparations. Besides that, I enjoyed understanding just how they overcome day-to-day challenges to pursue their passion for wrestling. Their stories are inspiring,” she says.
