Controversy
editThe director Rupesh Paul decided to replace Sherlyn Chopra, after Chopra uploaded a video clip of the photo shoot of the film on her YouTube channel without seeking his permission. He wanted to replace her with Eva Longoria or Mila Kunis.[7] Chopra later apologized to him in writing, stating that she would not say or write anything about the film without the consent of the producers.[8]
On 9 February, Paul filed a lawsuit against Chopra for defamation, alleging that the actress had abused him on the social networking service Twitter.[9]
By March, however, both parties dropped the lawsuits, publicly stating that they had decided to move on from the misunderstanding.[10]
