A report in Mumbai Mirror had stated that Jacqueline Fernandez will be playing Smita Patil’s role whereas Swara Bhasker will be portraying Shabana Azmi’s role in the remake. Now as per a Pinkvilla report, Emraan Hashmi has been approached to play the lead in it.

A source was quoted saying in the entertainment portal as, “Emraan has been approached to play one of the male leads, possibly Kulbhushan Kharbanda’s role. The actor is pretty excited about the part, given that the original was tactfully and meticulously looked over by Bhatt himself. Emraan’s closeness with the Bhatt family is well known and he seems to be an obvious choice for the role.”  

Now it has to be seen if this is the actual cast of the remake or just speculations as so far there has been no official announcement about the same. Until then let’s hope the makers are able to find an apt cast for the remake.
