There is always a possibility of changes in the films until they are made and released in theatres. Meghna Gulzar, director of Chhapak and Sam Bahadur films, first wanted to make a film inspired by a real incident with actor Siddharth Malhotra and actress Kareena Kapoor. However, Siddharth withdrew from this film after seeing the seriousness of the subject. Then Meghna had talked to actor Ayushmann Khurrana for this film, but now there are reports that the time has come to an end.
Ayushmann has also backed out of the film due to the unavailability of Ayushmann. In such a situation, Meghna has now got the support of South Indian actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. According to reports from the cinema corridors, after Siddharth and Ayushmann backed out, Meghna narrated the story of the film to Prithviraj. He liked the story and has given his approval for this film. He will play the role of a police officer in this film. Kareena, on the other hand, will remain in her previously decided role.
