While speculations were widespread about Salman’s association with the film, Karan announced that he is jointly producing the film with Akshay Kumar.


Earlier it was said that Parineeti Chopra or Katrina Kaif were being considered as the leading lady. Karan Johar now has confirmed that Parineeti Chopra will be the leading lady in the film. The filmmaker took to Twitter and made the announcement.




A source also confirmed, “Both Karan and Akshay have zeroed in on Parineeti Chopra and she has given her nod too. She is very much onboard and will begin prep for the film soon. An official announcement about the same is being planned for sometime in November end. This is a big project for Parineeti and there was no way she could turn it down.”
