Earlier, there were report that the off screen cousins Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor are all set to play on-screen siblings in Zoya Akhtar's next flick. The movie was reported to be based on a brother-sister relationship, hence Zoya wanted to cast the real life cousins on screen.

Though Kareena initially agreed to play the role, now she has opted out stating several other reasons. But, sources close to the actress claim, that Bebo gave her nod, only because of Ranbir Kapoor, but when he refused the film and Ranveer Singh was replaced by him, she was not very keen to star in the film.
