Salman and Akshay too agreed to do the film a few minutes after he had discussed the project with them, Nadiadwala said. "They read the script only on the first day of the shoot," the producer added.
Zinta said she was drawn to the project because she knew it was going to be a lighthearted film. "An important factor in signing the film was the fact that someone like Sajid, who knows a great deal about making big films, was going to produce this film. When you have a new director, it becomes very important that a very smart, very wise producer is there to guide everyone," Zinta said.
"I am very selective about scripts," Nadiadwala -- who has produced seven films in 12 years including the hit Mujhse Shaadi Karogi -- pointed out. "It takes me a couple of years to finalize a script. And here I was committing an expensive, star-studded film on a two-minute narration!
"But I am very family oriented, and I was very confident that the entire team that includes composer Anu Malik, who is like a brother to me, would pull off something very special," Nadiadwala added.
"I have always believed that Farah is the Sachin Tendulkar of choreography," he asserted. "And with her husband and Malik involved in this film, she has given her very best to it."
