Deepika had earlier revealed that she had to burn off the prosthetics that gave her look of an acid attack survivor to disassociate herself from the character and seek a mental healing.

Director Meghna Gulzar has earlier in an interview revealed that she was amazed how quickly Deepika imbibed the nuances of her character Malti.
