During
the
promotions
of
Haseen
Dillruba,
Taapsee
Pannu
had
revealed
in
one
of
her
interviews
that
she
was
not
the
first
choice
to
play
Rani
Kashyap
in
this
crime
thriller
and
that
the
makers
came
to
her
after
they
had
exhausted
all
their
casting
options.
While
the
makers
didn't
divulge
the
name
of
the
actresses
who
were
considered
before
Taapsee,
a
recent
report
in
ETimes
states
that
the
film's
producer
Aanand
L
Rai
was
keen
to
bring
Kriti
Sanon
on
board
for
this
film.
The
report
stated
that
Rai
had
spoken
to
Taapsee
during
Manmarziyaan
and
she
was
okay
with
him.
For
some
unknown
reason,
the
filmmaker
then
approached
Kriti
Sanon.
The
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi
actress
loved
the
script,
but
later
developed
a
few
second
thoughts
as
she
got
apprehensive
about
the
role,
which
demanded
her
to
be
rather
bold
on
screen.
Further,
the
report
claimed
that
the
makers
made
a
few
changes
in
the
script
as
a
natural
progression
and
Taapsee
came
on
board.
The
actress
loved
the
role
she
was
going
to
experiment
with,
which
was
unlike
her
previous
reel
avatars.
ETimes
further
stated
that
it
is
unknown
whether
the
makers
approached
anyone
else
between
these
two
developments.
