According to insiders, Kumar has confirmed that he has signed the actress and is quite happy with the decision. It is also understood that Kumar and Sharma travelled to Los Angeles to sign the actress for their film. Said a source, "It isn't a forced casting at all, in fact she (Megan) fits the role perfectly. The girl's role is of an Anglo-Indian who speaks with a thick accent. And that's why Megan is extremely suitable for the role." Interestingly the names of lot many actresses like Nargis Fakhri, Lisa Hayden and Shraddha Kapoor had popped out to play Rati Agnihotri’s character. Incidentally Basu Chatterjee's 1982 made Shaukeen that stared Mithun and Rati Agnihotri was a blockbuster.
