Amruta plays the role of Baji Prabhu's wife Sonabai Deshpande in the movie. She said: "The role of Sonabai Deshpande in 'Har Har Mahadev' is the first historic character that I have played ever in my life, and with a historic character comes great responsibility because you cannot imagine things on your own."

"You have to study the character, and how the nuances of a character must be you have to do research and when it's an intricate historical character you have to play it to the tee, and for that having a no makeup look and wearing a 9-10 yard saree, I have to drape it for the whole day I was not able to use the washroom after wearing it."
