Apart from Sunny Deol, the movie also stars Preity Zinta and Karan Deol in the lead roles. Karan will be seen essaying the character of Javed in the film. Earlier in an interview, Aamir revealed the reason behind Karan's casting. He said, "I am so happy that Karan has tested so well for the extremely critical role of Javed. His natural innocence, his sincerity, and his honesty brings a lot to the table."

He added that Karan had applied himself, worked hard, did workshops with Adishakti, rehearsals with Raj, and was giving his all. "Javed is a great part, a very challenging part, and I am sure that with Raj Santoshi to direct him, Karan will nail it," concluded Aamir.
