Rohit Shetty Talks About Deepika Padukone:
Talking to casting director Mukesh Chhabra on Mashable India, Rohit recalled that Deepika was coming off a string of flops at the time, and needed a few days to get into the groove. He said, 'It took a long time… In comedy especially, it takes a while to crack even established actors. We started shooting with Deepika, we shot for four days, and on the fourth day, she started getting a hang of the accent. Actors are usually conscious about how they are coming across, it's only when they shed these concerns that they start performing."
He continued, 'It took four days, and on the fourth day we thought that we had it. Even Shah sir realised that we were on the right track, and we reshot the previous four days. Then she started enjoying it, and that's when it went to a different level."
