== Production ==
In an interview with ''[[The Times of India]]'', [[Radhika Kumaraswamy|Radhika]] said that "I'm playing the role of a girl, who comes to the help of the people. This is a double shaded character in the movie. Bajrangi Loki is playing negative shade in the movie. Our scenes have come up very well,".<ref>{{cite news |title=Radhika Kumaraswamy wraps up work on ‘Damayanthi’ - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/radhika-kumaraswamy-wraps-up-work-on-damayanthi/articleshow/68415586.cms |accessdate=16 October 2019 |work=The Times of India |date=14 March 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

Shashikala, the famous voice behind Nagavalli’s character featuring [[Soundarya]] in [[Apthamitra]], has now dubbed for [[Radhika Kumaraswamy]] in this film. The makers conducted voice tests with 23 dubbing artistes, and finally decided to bring Shashikala on board.

“Even Radhika, who usually dubs for her films, felt that she will not be able to do justice with her voice, and then we decided to go with Shashikala. We were told that she has not been working for the last three years. However, she considered our request and completed dubbing for the film. With her voice, the character played by Radhika now reaches another level,” director Navarasan said in an interview with [[The New Indian Express]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Shashikala dubs for Radhika Kumaraswamy’s 'Damayanti' |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/hindi/2019/sep/12/shashikala-dubs-for-radhika-kumaraswamys-damayanti-2032272.html |accessdate=16 October 2019 |work=The New Indian Express |date=12 September 2019}}</ref>
