I dont think so. Simply because if she would have been a threat, they wont have cast her. They probably needed a show piece only. As I said may be Firdaus had to be this larger than life girl but she needed to be below ARK in terms of acting because this film seems mainly about Noor afterall. His obsession, his love and his fight. I think the younger lot like Alia,Shradha,Kirti, Pari would have looked stunning with ARK and surely must have acted well too but then the larger than life persona wont be achieved. And if they took someone like Priyanka,Kangana or Deepu, the heroine would have eaten all the attention. So they didnt need a PC or a Kangy. Apart from Kat, Anushka might have filled the space pretty well IMO...she is a stunner as well as a very natural actor.
