Speaking about the casting, Dipika said, "Sai Pallavi is a phenomenal actor, but I don't know how she'll look as Sita." She added that audiences have certain expectations from the character's appearance and recalled that she had never come across descriptions of Sita with curly hair in traditional texts. "Sita ji with curly hair is not mentioned in Tulsidas' Ramayan. But if they fit the bill, then it's good," she remarked.
