Comments Bihar distributor Roshan Singh, “As far as the north is concerned it is definitely War as no.1. Chiranjeevi is the undisputed king of the South. But up North, he hardly has a market. They’ve tried to promote the film through Bachchan Saab. But everyone knows Bachchan Saab only has a guest appearance in the film.” Kishan Damani a prominent distributor in Bihar says. “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has a good chance of catching up with War. Provided it is high on content then it will definitely make a dent in the War market. However, at the moment War is ruling the box office advance in the North while Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is King in the South.” Damani also points out the fact that Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a late starter. “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy’s advance opened on Tuesday due to late censoring and showcasing.”
While the director chooses to refrain from comment a source close to him confirms, “All the three leads players are Ranjan’s first choices. There was never any dithering. The uncertainty was only in the media’s mind. Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone loved their roles from the start.” The untitled film starts shooting in the middle of next year. The exciting part of the casting is that Deepika will be paired with Devgan and not Ranbir. We can always trust Luv Ranjan to bring about a kahaani mein twist. Also Read: 
Emraan Hashmi has played the character of an outlaw in several films and it is the first time the actor will be on the side of the law. However, as per sources, Hashmi finds his new cop avatar is as driven as Shoaib from Once Upon A Time In Mumbai was. While his character Shoaib's drive was to earn money and be powerful, whereas Emraan's character in the new film is all about taking on crime and criminals. Emraan Hashmi had to gain weight for his look in the film. Reportedly, the actor knew he had to bulk up to look convincing in front of a guy like John Abraham who is extremely well built. Hashmi had very little time to bulk up. The actor used to work out twice a day and by the end of it, he used to end up feeling overtrained. According to reports, Emraan Hashmi could not sleep for two days before he was to start shooting since he had overtrained. Sanjay Gupta, the director of Mumbai Saga said that Emraan went from medium size to XL within a month and a half. Also Read:
