It is actress Tannishtha Chatterjee is now the newest member of the ' Gulaab Gang ', who plays the role of chief lieutenant.
A close source reveals, "Casting for the film has been problematic from the day Madhuri Dixit was signed to play the main role. They couldn't convince Tabu , Vidya Balan or Raveena Tandon to play the other main female lead of a politician. Finally Juhi Chawla agreed to play the part. Then began the hunt for other prominent members of the Gulaab Gang . None of the leading actresses was willing to join Madhuri's gang until the director Soumik Sen who had seen Tannishtha's work in Dev Benegal 's Road, Movie and Mangesh Hadawale 's Dekh Indian Circus offered her the role of Madhuri's chief lieutenant."
Another source says, "She read the script and loved it. It was her first mainstream Hindi offer. But her role was skimpy and sketchy. Tannishtha asked for it to be fleshed out. Apparently she told the director, 'Madhuri is a big star and a fabulous actress. It'd be a pleasure to work with her. But I am no walkover. I should have at least a few scenes to sink my teeth into. Otherwise I am happy doing my international projects and off-mainstream films.' The director re-wrote Tannishtha's part before she accepted it."
After her, Marathi actress Divya Jagdale and Priyanka Bose have joined the gang.
