Deepika Padukone was the first choice, when Director Ayan Mukherji was planning to do his next film after Wake Up Sid with his actor Ranbir Kapoor under Karan Johar's Dharma Production again.
But later there were speculations that Katrina Kaif will be boarded in the movie, when Ayan declared that he is yet to finish his script before thinking of the cast. At that time the break up of Ranbir-Kat turned out to be something big.

Deepika will romance Ranbir.” We hear that Deepika who is promoting Aarakshan has been telling that he has no issues working with her ex by friend Ranbir again, already knew that she is the one for the movie, but kept mum since she did not sign the dotted lines yet.
