Taking to Instagram, Taapsee shared her experience working on the film, calling it a “burnout like never before.” She compared the shooting process to an NOS (nitrous oxide system) mode for the human body, emphasizing the sheer physical and mental toll it took on her. Despite the challenges, she expressed deep satisfaction and pride, highlighting how the bruises from the action sequences brought a sense of fulfillment.

In Gandhari, Taapsee plays a mother who embarks on a relentless mission, performing several raw and intense action sequences. The movie was shot over 50 days in and around Mumbai and Maharashtra, pushing the entire cast and crew to their limits.

This film marks Taapsee’s sixth collaboration with Kanika Dhillon, following their successful projects like Manmarziyaan, Haseen Dillruba, and Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba. Speaking about the project, Kanika described Gandhari as both an enriching and challenging experience, calling it a heroic story that she is extremely proud of.
