2. Kangana Ranaut - Well, everyone knows why Kangana rejected this film, she doesn't want to work with any superstar.

3. Parineeti Chopra - The name which made so much noise for this film was Parineeti Chopra, however, Parineeti didn't accept the role.

4. Kriti Sanon – It was rumoured that Kriti also got the offer, but she rejected the film because she didn't want to sign a contract deal with YRF.

6. Mrunal Jain - Television actress Mrunal Jain also gave audition for the film and casting director Shaanoo also suggested losing weight to her but in three months she lost so much weight that she was not looking like a wrestler.
