Earlier on, Katrina had opted out of the film but had done so amicably and professionally. The reason had been the lack of dates as she had to shoot for Salman Khan's 'Bharat', hence she could not devote the time to this film. Meanwhile, there are reports that Nora Fatehi has joined the film's cast.
