Prachi Desai and Nargis Fakhri have also researched carefully on every detail of Naureen and Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani, the characters the duo will be playing respectively. Prachi Desai

revealed that she has done some 'kissing scenes' with Emraan Hashmi (who plays Azharuddin) for a song sequence. The actress, in a tongue-in-cheek manner also mentioned that there was so much of

kissing in the said song that she was unable to understand if it were indeed for the song or retakes or if someone was playing a prank.

the actress in 2010.

sportsman yet. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, N. P. Singh and Sneha Rajani, the film is slated to release on 13 May.
