Casting

I feel disappointed as I really wanted to do that film. I hope I get an opportunity to work with Akshay Kumar and Prabhudheva as they are very supportive people.

After training for the role, Sanon eventually quit the role and opted out for the film, and was then replaced by Amy Jackson. In March 2015, it was revealed that Lara Dutta is hoping to make a comeback to films with Singh Is Bling.^[4] In May 2015 Bipasha Basu played the role of Mrs. Singh in the cast.
