"Kajol has begun shooting in Mumbai from yesterday. When she was approached for the film, she felt it’s the perfect script for her, since she already has a strong Marathi base," After Hrs quoted a source as saying.

Kajol speaks Marathi fluently because the language happens to be her mother-tongue. And hence she would be able to pull off the character with ease and elan.

Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior will Saif and Ajay's fourth film together. The two actors have worked in Kachche Dhaage (1999), LOC Kargil (2003) and Omkara (2006).
