Farah has cast Jackie Shroff as her bad guy, and the unit leaves for Dubai at the end of August to begin a long schedule at the Atlantis Palm Hotel.
The four men will play friends, each cursed with two left feet, who sign up to win a World Dance Championship. Commando tough guy Vidyut Jamwal has been mentioned as a possible replacement, as has Mohit Raina, who plays Lord Shiva in the popular television mythological Devon Ka Dev Mahadev, whom Farah’s son Czar is apparently obsessed with. While Aiyya star Prithviraj was initially cast, there’s been repeated talk of the Malayalee actor being subsequently replaced. There’s also been some back and forth over the casting of the film’s fourth male lead. The rest of the cast includes Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah. Farah and Shah Rukh eventually agreed that their musical comedy could do with at least one more A-lister. It was reportedly Shah Rukh who suggested that they go with a well-known leading lady instead of a new find. According to unit members, Farah had considered Parineeti Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha initially, but decided to go with a new face because she wasn’t entirely convinced that either would do justice to the part of a Bhandup bar dancer. After searching high and low for a newcomer to cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Happy New Year, Farah Khan has gone back to her Om Shanti Om discovery, Deepika Padukone.
