In March 2009, there were many rumours that this was another adaptation of Devdas, however the producer and director refuted these claims[1][2].
Several rumours in the press lead to believe that it was based on "political dynamics of the man-woman relationship".[3]
In an interview with Mid-day, Sudhir confirmed that he is using several elements of his grandfather Dwarka Prasad Mishra's personality in the political film [2].
Later it was confirmed that Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar will be playing politicians , whereas Chitrangada Singh will be playing a femme fatale of politics and the underworld. Sudhir describes Chitrangda's role as "that of an escort and power-broker in politics" [4][5].
Kareena's role is said to undergo various transformations, Sudhir Mishra enlightens "her character becomes a politician from an ordinary girl, who is the daughter of a police commissioner. The film chronicles how Kareena’s character is sucked into the world of power"[6].
The director has confirmed that parts of the plot are inspired from Shakespeare’s Hamlet [7].
Chitrangada later enlightened "It is about two women madly in love with the same man (Farhan) who is involved in politics," [8].
On 24 February 2009 several rumours released indicating a Kareena-Farhan starrer produced by Excel entertainment and directed by Sudhir Mishra. Farhan Akhtar confirmed this news[3].
Ritesh Sidhwani and Sudhir Mishra confirmed the film and its subject at later stages[1][2] .
On 15 March Kareena Kapoor confirmed her presence in an interview in Hindustan times[10].
Sudhir Mishra then confirmed that Chitrangada Singh is also a part of the film [11].
There is much hype as comparisons with Prakash Jha’s Rajneeti will be made , as Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have similar roles to Kareena Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar respectively[7].
Pre-production, in the form of casting for the film has begun. Shooting was meant to begin in Rajasthan in September 2009[12], however due to date problems the movie has been postponed to January 2011 [13], . .
