A passionate bike rider, Sonali started bike riding in college but for the first time will get a chance to live her passion on screen. She will be seen not only riding a motorbike but also a truck as Savitri. 

Commenting on this  Sonali Naik  said, "I was waiting for the perfect role to make my come back. I was extremely happy when I was offered this opportunity because I see myself in Savitri bai, apart from being a gangster she is a very bold and head strong woman who has an intimidating personality. Just like Savitri, I believe that I am fearless, ambitious and adventurous. I am very fond of learning new things, I learnt how to ride the bike when I was in college and after getting married we had a tractor and truck at home.  The adrenaline rush in me made me learn how to drive these vehicles. It’s quite an exciting experience for me as I am totally living my character as Savitri bai".
