“Sir Ben Kingsley is every director’s dream actor, with acting prowess honored the world over,” says Yadav. “In a sense, Teen Patti brings him back to the same land that made him a legend with Gandhi. Speaking for myself, I am thrilled to be directing two of the world’s finest acting talents, Sir Ben and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. I could not have asked for more.’

Arshad Warsi was to act in the film earlier, but dropped out because of date conflicts following repeated delays in the launch of the film.
