Directed by Reema Kagti (Talaash), this is some kind of romantic dramedy about a con artist (Saif) who marries and fleeces women until crossing paths with a woman (Kangna) who is more than a match for him. Produced by Excel Entertainment, which is to say by Reema's and Saif's mutual friends the junior Akhtars. www.boxofficecapsule.com/news/Saif-Ali-Khan-To-Turn-MR-CHAALU-7697

Saif had bailed on this project a few weeks back. Depending on who you ask, this was due to either concerns over payment or him fearing, post-Happy Ending, that audiences would no longer accept him in this kind of role. Latest round of rumors has Shahid starring. He seems like a good fit for the role as described, and I find it oddly appropriate given the way his earlier career-a talented actor dismissed as a mere "loverboy" type until he started getting better roles with better directors-somewhat mirrors Saif's.

I'm quite glad Saif is out of this one. I prefer seeing Shahid in it as I'm apprehensive of how Saif would have played his role. He's not getting any younger and because of his built his age tends to show more than say SRK or Aamir. Anyway, for those who wanted to see Kangana and Saif on screen together ; rumor has it that she's been approached by Sujoy Ghosh to star opposite Saif in Suspect X.

Shahid Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut opted out due to scheduling conflict. Shahid schedule was packed (Udta Punjab, Shaandar, Farzi...) and Kangana couldn't wait anymore for an actor to be secured as the male lead. She then chose to do Devotion of Suspect X which was offered by Sujoy Ghosh at the time.
Now it seems that Fawad Khan and Priyanka Chopra will star in it.

Mr. Chaloo: Kangana Ranaut to replace Priyanka Chopra?
Mr. Chaloo: Kangana Ranaut to replace Priyanka Chopra? Priyanka, Kangana celebrate National Award win It looks like Kangana Ranaut might replace Priyanka Chopra in director Reema Kagti’s next film ‘Mr. Chaloo’. There’s a question mark over the leading lady of Kagti’s next film, to be toplined by Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan. While Priyanka Chopra was said to have been finalized as the film’s heroine, but she is hard pressed to spare dates because her American TV show ‘Quantico’ has been green-lit and she is slated to fly to the US to shoot for the series that will go on air in September. Meanwhile, back home, she is busy shooting for director Prakash Jha’s movie ‘Gangaajal 2’ in Bhopal. With no time to squeeze in another film in the dates diary, Priyanka Chopra is reported to be bowing out of the movie. Rumour has it that the makers of 'Mr. Chaloo' now plan to approach Kangana Ranaut, who incidentally was their original choice for the movie.
But because Kangana has become very picky about the films she signs (she even turned down Salman Khan’s 'Sultan'), it remains to be seen whether the ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ actress gives her nod to the project.

It's kind of interesting that they came full circle casting the heroine on this one, and that the women seem to feel that it's a better showcase for them than the men.

I don't get what the producers and director are playing at. They should have delayed the movie and wait for Shahid seing as the shooting did end up getting delayed.
I wouldn't care if they keep Priyanka or get Kangna back (they are both good actors) but I must admit that it would be nice to see Fawad and Kangna starring in a movie together.
