Omung approached SLB with a detailed script based on the life of the boxer after getting the required permission. Sanjay confirmed to TOI that he liked the fact that Omung had done his homework; was actually inspired by Mary's life and was in awe of her much before she went for the Olympics, rather than it being an afterthought following her victory. Not only that, Omung had met her a year ago and had also got her to agree to the film.
