Writer/director Imtiaz Ali only settled on Shahid Kapoor for the role of Aditya after meeting him, as he previously viewed him as a "forgettable actor" before realizing that he had "gone through a lot in life and that maturity had never been brought out" and that as such he was perfect for the part of a "young, mature, quiet guy."
Geet Kaur Dhillon:
I am running away.
Aditya D, Kashyap:
Geet. Don't ever do that. Okay?
Geet Kaur Dhillon:
I am doing it. Everything is planned. I have come to say bye to you.
Aditya D, Kashyap:
You are leaving NOW? As in, RIGHT NOW?
Geet Kaur Dhillon:
Yes. You stay here for a few days. After that, you go back home to Mumbai, okay?
Aditya D, Kashyap:
Hang on, hang ...
