A fan used the picture in question and made a picture edit hinting the film's starcast as Agastya, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan, and Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's daughter Khushi Kapoor.

Big B retweeted the fan edit with the caption, "Agastya .. a new chapter begins in your life and there cannot be greater joy among us all .. my blessings my love and my wishes ever .. do well .. AND keep the flag flying !!!"

But, given the stringent policies of film production, Big B had to take down his tweet.

Earlier, pictures of Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and Agastya Nanda from the sets of the film, during their look test, went viral on social media. Going by the pictures, it seems that Khushi Kapoor would be essaying the role of Betty while Suhana will portray the rich and stylish Veronica.
