Pre-Post Production :
During his work as an art director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya (2007), Omung Kumar started writing two scripts simultaneously for his directorial debut. However, none of the films were made. He then asked writer Saiwyn Quadras to look for a female biographical subject for his first film, specifying “a role that no actress would turn down.” He added that he “wanted to make a film that would be like the Mother India of someone’s career.” Historical personalities such as Rani Laxmi Bai and Queen Elizabeth I of England came up for discussion; however they did not inspire Kumar. Quadras put forward the name of five-time world boxing champion Mary Kom, who despite numerous achievements, was at that time an unfamiliar name in India. Kumar admitted that he felt disgusted after being told of Kom’s achievements as he was unaware of her existence. Quadras later approached Kumar with the script for Mary Kom and he decided to make his directorial debut with it.
Saiwyn Quadras, who was interested in sports, started writing the screenplay for the film in 2011, which took two years to complete. Quadras arranged a meeting with Mary Kom via her manager in the year he started writing the script. Omung Kumar went to Manipur to meet Mary Kom and seek her permission to make the film. Initially, Mary Kom was surprised by the development as the sport, especially women’s boxing, was not well known in India. However, she was enthusiastic about the idea.
