Dholakia
Was
To
Direct

With

Sanon
In
Lead
Role
Before

decided
to
back

the
film
was
to
be
helmed
by
Raees
director
Rahul
Dholakia
for
the
production
house
Azure.
The
role

is
essaying,

Kriti
Sanon
Walked
Out
Of
Dhamaka
Without
Giving
A
Convincing
Reason
ETimes
quoted
Azure's
senior
producer
Gaurav
Bose
as
saying,
"Kriti
just
quit
without
giving
a
worthy
explanation,
I
mean,
she
did
not
give
us
a
convincing
reason." After
Kriti's
exit,
the
production
house
didn't
go
ahead
with
Rahul
Dholakia.
How
Kartik
Aaryan
And
RSVP
Came
Into
The
Picture?
Gaurav
revealed,
"Dholakia
got
busy
in
other
projects
and
of
late
we
were
talking
to
Ram
Madhvani
and
things
fell
into
place-
and
Ram
went
on
to
cast
Kartik
in
the
protagonist's
role.
We
sold
the
rights
to
Ram.
This
is
how
Ram
is
now
producing
the
film
and
he
went
on
to
sell
it
to
RSVP
movies
who
are
backing
it."
