    According to the report, the Slumdog Millionaire actress was initially offered the movie. During the time of casting, another production got involved and so did Anushka Sharma. This caused the filmmakers to reconsider and rope in Anushka for the role. The movie was produced by Anushka’s production house, Clean Slate Films, along with Phantom Films.
