“I think that Ranbir was making a similar film, Rocket Singh. So he was released. However, my first choice was still Shahid Kapoor. I was really hoping he said yes because at that time, he made his father's film.”
He added: “At the beginning, Shahid said no as he wanted to work on his father's film, but later, when he read the script, he dropped his father's film to make Badmaash's company.”
While Parmaet was very satisfied with the casting of Shahid, he was extremely skeptical about Anushka Sharma. “Aditya suggested the name of Anushka to me. He said, “Yaar, she is very good. You just meet it once. For me, his image was very uncomfortable because I watched it in Rab Banadi Jodi.
