It is reported that Karan Johar had favored friend Kareena Kapoor while Ekta wanted to take Katrina Kaif for the ambitious project. A source says, ‘Yes, Kareena has bagged a major role in the film. Karan is quite impressed with her performance in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.”
It is being learnt that Kareena was eyeing this project since a long time. She had even rejected Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbaii 2 and Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express for a meatier role in this project. K-JO and Ekta Kapoor hope to finalize the casting by the end of February 2012. “Both Balaji and Dharma are considering Emraan Hashmi for the male lead.
