Production

Casting

Koel Mallick will be seen as a warrior queen for the first time in this film. Regarding her role, she said, "Till the time you don’t experiment or take risks, you don’t know to what level you can go. Playing these larger-than-life characters isn't easy, specially because I have never done it. I needed to first believe in the subject. I believe in reincarnation and life after death. After saying yes, I had to really work very hard on getting Arundhati's body language right."[3]

Filming

Filming of Arundhati started on 24 October 2013.[2] Mallick was reported to have a very busy schedule during the filming of Arundhati. She had to learn horse-riding and sword-fighting for portraying her character in this film. Her horse-riding classes were taken by expert Vikram Rathore, at the Kolkata Maidan during the early hours of the day. Shooting locations include Bolpur and Kolkata.[2] Her sword-fighting sequences are based on the martial art Kalaripayattu.[3]

gollark: Hmm, so you can do `require`ing without actually using the `require` function? It's neat, but I prefer my strings-as-lambdas.

gollark: No idea how that happened.

gollark: There was a `websocket.result` which appeared to act as `receive`.

gollark: I had to hastily swap potatOS over to using the evented API.

gollark: It seemed to be missing in one CCEmuX build.
