Earlier, Sidharth Malhotra was approached for the role opposite Daisy Shah but it looks like that the actor didn't like the role. So after Sidharth rejection, makers even went to Emraan Hashmi but he was also not interested in working in this film. So, finally makers decided to make two characters from one role and now Bobby Deol and Saqib Saleem will play that important role of Sidharth in two different characters.
