Production[edit]
In May 2013, it was first reported that Kunal Deshmukh's next project would be produced by UTV Motion Pictures.[5] Deshmukh selected Emraan Hashmi for the lead role, collaborating with him for the fourth time.[6] The film was titled Shaatir and Hashmi was revealed to play the character of a ‘shaatir’ conman in the film.[7] In April 2014, the film's title was changed to Raja Natwarlal inspired by the 1979 Amitabh Bachan film Mr. Natwarlal.[8]
In June, it was reported that Abhishek Bachchan would play another lead role besides Hashmi.[9] But he opted out and next month Paresh Rawal was signed for the role.[10] Jacqueline Fernandez and Priyanka Chopra were approached to play the lead female role, but both actresses could not accommodate the dates.[9] In November 2013, Pakistani model and actor Humaima Malick was cast as the female lead.[11] Deepak Tijori was signed for a role in the film in December.[12] Kay Kay Menon was signed for an important role and Deshmukh stated that his character named Vardha Yadav had been modelled on the Sahara India Pariwar chief Subrata Roy.[13] Pritam Chakraborty, who had composed the music for all of Deshmukh's films, was supposed to work on this film's music, too,[6] but was replaced by Yuvan Shankar Raja.[3][14]
Deshmukh had planned to start the first schedule of the film early 2014 but since Hashmi's other film Badtameez Dil had been postponed, the start of the film's shoot was advanced to October 2013.[15] Principal photography commenced on 20 October 2013. Hashmi took special dance training for the film under choreographer, Raju Khan.[16]
