Development

The film was first announced as a film based on the brother and sister relationship between Zoya and her brother Farhan Akhtar, she had been working on the script after her 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.[5] The cast consisted of Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. After Ranbir's date issues were apparent, Akhtar approached Ranveer Singh to play the role of the brother opposite Kareena with Katrina as his love interest.[6] Kareena had decided to turn down the offer as she was keen to work with cousin-actor Ranbir Kapoor who was replaced by Ranveer.[7] In June, 2013 it was rumoured Priyanka Chopra will be replacing Kareena as Ranveer's sister and in October, 2013 it was confirmed.[8][9] Also announced was Anushka Sharma as Ranveer's love interest and Anil Kapoor in a pivotal role.
