Preity Zinta and Shiney Ahuja were Jahnu Barua's first choices for the leading roles. [1] Initially, Dipannita Sharma was supposed to play the supporting role of Zinta's roommate, but was later replaced by Isha Koppikar. [2] Amitabh Bachchan was also supposed to make a role in the film as Zinta's father, but he later opted out due to date problems. Bachchan was subsequently replaced by Dharmendra, after Zinta, who was looking for an opportunity to work with him, had suggested his name. [3] [4] Dino Morea makes a special appearance in a song composed by Pritam Chakraborty.
Filming began in August 2007 in Mumbai, and took place in Kolkata and Shillong, Meghalaya. [1] The film's release was delayed for several years following rape charges which were brought on male lead Shiney Ahuja and which might have dampened the film's commercial prospects. In November 2010, it was announced that the film would come out in December of that year. [5] However, on 25 November 2014, Barua announced that the film's production had been halted with no plans to release the film. [6]
