For the film which will be directed by Karan Johar, Parineeti Chopra has been roped in as the leading lady. The film will showcase her in a bold avatar as someone who is longing for a lover. Speculations have it that a TV star will play the role of her lover.

While Bhumi Pednekar and Neil Bhooplam will feature as a couple in the Zoya Akhtar short with Rasika Duggal as their domestic help, Manisha Koirala will play the protagonist in Dibaker Banerjees film. Furthermore, producer Ashi Dua asserted that none of the stories are a continuation from the previous anthology.
