Tandon was the first choice for the part, which she initially turned down as it was too bold. [4] Her part was said to be based on Shobhaa De. [5] Tandon later accepted the part and called it "very contrary to the cliched Hindi film heroine. It's bold in its character and has no justifications". [3] She appeared in a Sufi song. [6] According to Sudipto, "Raveena's character 'Shobhana 7 nights' bears a close resemblance to some of the high society authors and columnists in Mumbai and is bold and sensual, sure to raise eyebrows."
