Where the hero is concerned, both parties are clear - Emraan Hashmi steps into Aamir's (the hero of the original) shoes. But rumour has it that they seem be disagreeing as to who the leading lady should be.
Allegedly Bhushan Kumar feels that Shraddha Kapoor would best fit the role Pooja Bhatt had originally essayed but Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt think otherwise. They have allegedly argued that Pooja's half-sister Alia Bhatt should take her place. Of course the Bhatts also deny that there is any tussle at all and insist that the film should kick off sometime later this year. When asked about the casting of the leading lady, Mukesh Bhatt said, "We are weighing our options." Rumour has it that Bhushan Kumar has said he will be finalising the cast irrespective of the Bhatts' participation. Does this mean Shraddha Kapoor will win? Watch this space!
