Production
Tandon was the first choice for the part, which she initially turned down as it was too bold.{{cite news |title=Raveena to romance with younger man in 'Shobhana 7 Nights' |url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/raveena-to-romance-with-younger-man-in-shobhana-7-nights/829217/ |access-date=9 June 2021 |work=The Indian Express |date=9 August 2011}} Her part was said to be based on Shobhaa De.{{cite news |last1=Jha |first1=Subhash K. |title=Raveena Tandon plays Shobha De |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/bollywood/raveena-tandon-plays-shobha-de/ |access-date=9 June 2021 |work=Bollywood Hungama |date=29 November 2011 }} Tandon later accepted the part and called it "very contrary to the cliched Hindi film heroine.
