Kareena Kapoor Khan Fawad Khan was being considered for the role opposite Kareena after Ayushmann's exit. Earlier there were reports that Fawad Khan was being considered for the role after Ayushmann Khurrana was ousted from the film, allegedly because Kareena didn't want to be cast opposite him. Ayushmann however cleared the air saying, "I didn't do Udta Punjab because our dates were not matching.
