Revealing that Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be set in today's time, director spoke about casting Siddhant, he said, "Siddhant caught everyone’s eye with his brilliant acting debut in Gully Boy (earlier this year) and became the heartthrob of the nation. We are very excited to have him play the role of Bunty. He is a superb actor, is extremely charming and he fits the role perfectly."

He also mentioned that the film's leading lady is a talent to watch out for. Her crackling chemistry with Siddhant is surely going to be a highlight of the film.
