The film's lead actress is Priyanka Chopra. Vishal narrated the role to Konkona over the phone and she immediately agreed to be a part of the film. She flew down to Pondicherry and shot her scenes over two days.
Apparently Konkona's character is pivotal in the relationships Priyanka's character shares with two of her husbands. Konkona does not share screen space with Priyanka.
Konkona had earlier worked with Vishal in Omkara.
