Actor Riteish Deshmukh will be cast in a negative role in this film.[4] Sidharth Malhotra was reported to be doing a lot of action sequences for the film and this will be his first film where he is playing a villain. In an Interview Siddharth says that Mohit Suri has explored the dark side of him in the film. It's a grey shade in the film but it's essentially a love story.[5] Mohit Suri, who also directed the Shraddha Kapoor starrer ‘’Aashiqui 2’’, had to hunt a lot to find a lead actress for his upcoming project before signing Shraddha. Both Mohit and Ekta Kapoor were confirmed that Shraddha suited the lead actress the best.[1] There were earlier reports of Alia Bhatt and Esha Gupta being approached for the role.[6] According to a Mid Day source, Shraddha Kapoor read the script and liked it, and she didn't hesitate in getting signed for the film as Mohit Suri directed her first hit (referring to Aashiqui 2). After the success of Aashiqui 2, it became easy for the director to select the lead actress.[7] It is set to release on June 27, 2014.[8]
