According to a report  in DNA, “Omung already has three-four names in mind and they are not newcomers. The movie will capture Dalbir’s battle but it is not entirely about that. It is also about the struggles Sarabjit faced while in Pakistan. He will be talking to few actors and finally decide on someone in a few days.”
The names are Farhan Akhtar, Randeep Hooda, Sonu Sood and Fawad Khan.
