The same report states that the makers are still working out modalities with Shraddha who will sign on the dotted line as soon as the terms are locked. That is the reason they have not announced the female lead yet. However, this development has not yet been confirmed by the makers. Acccording to DNA, Shraddha was also in talks with Ekta Kapoor for her upcoming film Shotgun Shaadi , for which Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra have been roped in, but dropped out owing to clashing schedules. Shraddha was last seen in the Apoorva Lakhia’s biopic  Haseena Parkar . Her upcoming projects include Stree opposite Rajkummar Rao and Batti Gul Meter Chalu with Shahid Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
