Vidya Balan began smoking cigarettes regularly to get into character, since Silk Smitha was known to be a heavy smoker. She smoked almost a pack and a half a day. Sometimes before filming scenes she would smoke up to ten cigarettes consecutively, to get ready to get into character on set. She quit after shooting the film however.
Vidya Balan gained 12 kilograms for the role in the movie.
