“Kartik and Shraddha were the front runners for the film. However, due to certain reasons, the makers have now decided on approaching Janhvi Kapoor and Ranveer Singh for the same roles. Initially, the makers of the Tezaab remake had approached Ranveer first, and instead of Shraddha, they want Janhvi in the movie, added sources.”
