The lead role of Jejamma in the original film was played by south star Anushka Shetty. Sonu Sood who played the villan in the original movie, is going to retain his role in the hindi remake as well. Prior to Kareena, Katrina Kaif and Rani Mukharjee were approached for this role, but both of them couldn't take up the role because of date issues.

Arundhati will be Kareena Kapoor's second female centric movie after Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine. 

It is said that Gemini Film Circuit has acquired the rights of the remake and the makers of the movie are planning to do it on a big scale. 

Kareena Kapoor will soon be seen in Reema Kagti's Talaash opposite Aamir Khan.
