Abhinay Deo's untitled upcoming film stars Taapsee Pannu and Prateik Babbar. There were rumours that the makers have been on the look out for a senior actor to play the role of Tapsee's father-in-law in the film and their first choice was Amitabh Bachchan.

A source says, "The makers have been considering quite a few actors to play this powerful role. Since Taapsee and Amitabh were seen together in Pink, the team thought that it is not a good idea to cast them together again. Taapsee has a few interesting scenes with the senior actor. So they apparently decided to cast Rishi Kapoor."

The story is apparently that of a lady advocate who fights the case of her brother-in-law, who's falsely implicated in a case.
