He quipped: "It was Irrfan and me. But with Irrfan leaving, the whole fan (fun) went away with it." It was reported that Irrfan's date issues prompted him to leave the movie. And producer Vashu Bhagnani said that Irrfan's backing out at the last minute created problems for him to find a replacement.

Irrfan was also quoted as saying that he was backing out due to creative differences arising over the selection of actors. Bhagnani's son Jackky later replaced Irrfan, but the film flopped at the box-office. Asked who else should get the Ghanta Award, Arshad said: "I should get it for the kind of films that I'm doing... All make films; some work, some don't.
"It is difficult to say who should get the award because I promise you that when someone makes a film, they don't think that 'I'll make such a bad film that I'll get Ghanta award for it'."
