Deepika and Saif will share screen space for the first time with Big B in the film which also stars Prateik Babbar and Manoj Bajpai.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday,Bachchan said he was excited to shoot in Bhopal since he was the “damaad” (son-in-law) of the city. Saif also said his family belonged to Bhopal and was looking forward to shooting there.

The megastar said that the film deals intelligently with the much debated topic. “The quota for lesser merit may be argued and at the same time what does one do for those that have never had an opportunity or privilege to even attempt a position. The script is dramatic,pertinent and I think intelligently crafted,” he said.
