"I am not going to talk anything about it (casting Deepika and Parineeti). There is a lot of speculation happening about casting. I take the blame for it (speculation) as I am taking time for it (casting). I am taking time to come to finishing line and officially announce the cast," Rai told PTI.
When asked if he in talks with these actresses, Rai said, "I am not getting into this game."
Earlier names of actresses Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor Khan were floating as probables for this film. According to Rai casting right actors for a film is essential.
The "Tanu Weds Manu" helmer has a title for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer but did not share the details.
"The film will go on floors next year," he added.
