Says a source, "Prakash Jha asked for Rs 75 crore for his film. UTV was taken completely aback. The film may have a big cast but its subject does not lend itself to popular entertainment."

The cast of the film includes Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai, Katrina Kaif and Naseeruddin Shah.
