=== Casting ===<br />
[[Koel Mallick|Koel]] 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."<ref name="Canter queen">{{cite news|title=Canter queen|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/canter-queen/cid/239951#.UpDUodLPWaw|date=7 November 2013|newspaper=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]]|location=Calcutta|accessdate=22 March 2019}}</ref><br />
