Filmmaker Aanand L Rai is said to have cast Katrina for a role that he had earlier offered to Deepika.

It is said that earlier Padukone was Rai’s first choice for the role but due to her hectic Hollywood schedule she didn’t have dates. According to Mumbai Mirror, Padukone is now free from Hollywood commitments and is not happy that the filmmaker cast someone else without asking her.
