Preity had nightmares before they shot this crucial sequence. But somehow Preity did the job. Recalling this dangerous experience, Preity says, "I had to put my hand into a hole in the ground, take out this big long snake and not just hold it but also put it around my neck. It was a harrowing in the script. I wondered how I'd manage on camera."
The film has episodes from Girish Karnad's play Naag Mandala where the battered wife imagines the naag devta transforming into a caring loving husband as an alternative life to her nightmarish reality.
Incidentally, not too many of our Bollywood queens have shot with real snakes.
