 Hrithik Roshan (qv) was approached for the role of Bunty. However,  recalling the disastrous _Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002)_ (qv), he put  a condition that he would do the film if it was directed by either  Yash Chopra (qv) or Aditya Chopra (qv). Abhishek Bachchan (qv)  was approached next and he accepted the role.
