Development
Gautham Menon refused the opportunity to direct the film again, citing that he felt the eight years gap between the releases of it with the original was too long; subsequently Nishikanth Kamath of Evano Oruvan and Mumbai Meri Jaan fame was roped in by the producers to direct the remake.[1] Initially, Asin was signed up to reprise her role that she played in the Telugu remake of the film - Gharshana, but as the film became delayed, dates clashed with her other film, Ready, hence she was forced to withdraw from the film. She was consequently replaced by Genelia, who works with John Abraham after the postponement of their Hook Ya Crook. Other actresses such as Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu were also rumoured to be replacing Asin. Harris Jayaraj was maintained as the music director of the film after his work in the original, and with the film, he composes his second album in Hindi after the his successful 2001 album Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein.
Filming
The shooting of the film is likely to end by February 2011, after sixty five days of shoot.
