Director Delhiprasad Deenadayal was quoted as saying, “We tried our best to work out the date issues with Aditi, but it didn’t work out. Our next immediate choice was Raashi Khanna. She plays a Marwari girl and fits in the role perfectly. When we narrated the script, she really liked the various shades her character offers. Her character is a girl-next-door-one, but her mannerisms will be a tad different. She worked around her dates and joined the shoot recently,” reports TOI.

There is one song, though, that would require several people in the background. We are figuring out on how to work on the same.” Tughlaq Durbar, touted to be a political thriller, is produced by Lalit Kumar under the banner of Seven Screen Studio.
