Of Bhumi's preparations for the film a source earlier told DNA, "Bhumi has chosen dusty suburban fields to swanky gyms as her training ground and her workout regime now includes walking with buckets filled with water on her head under the boiling sun, sweeping and cleaning floors, walking barefoot in dusty fields and lanes, grinding wheat, among other rigorous household chores that rural women in India do."

The plot of Sonchiriya, directed by Abhishek Chaubey, as mentioned above, revolves around the Chambal dacoits and is set in the 70s. The film has also been shot in Chambal.
