[edit] Production

Director Priyadarshan signed on actors Irrfan Khan, Akshay Kumar and Tabu to essay pivotal roles in the film. However, Kumar didn't find the film interesting and opted out of the project[2] whilst Tabu refused the film as she didn't want to work with Irrfan Khan.[3] The director then offered Kumar's and Tabu's role to Shahrukh Khan and Amisha Patel respectively, and both of them agreed to do the film.[4]

Patel later opted out of the film as she felt her character's role was not substantial enough[5] and sources had indicated that Juhi Chawla was signed on for the role.[6] In April 2008, the director announced that he had signed on Lara Dutta to essay the role of the barber's wife.[7] The cast began filming for the project on April 8, 2008[8] and according to Shahrukh Khan, "the film is a sweet story of friendship...quite similar to the bond shared between Krishna and Sudama."[1] The film will also have guest appearances by actresses Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, who are reportedly doing item numbers in the film.[9]
