Initially, Deepika Padukone was to do the role but somehow there were rumors that Saif was not too keen on the role and Abhay Deol was being considered for the role. As such, Deepika opted out of the film. However, Saif decided to stay with the project after a long discussion with his Omkara director. But by then, Deepika was gone and the role fell into Vidya’s lap. Now, the three are working on the dates.
