Katrina Kaif approached Abhishek Kapoor for the role of Firdaus as the actress is a fan of Charles Dickens' celebrated classic "Great Expectations", the inspiration behind "Fitoor". Set in Kashmir, the upcoming film will see Katrina stepping into the character inspired by beautiful but cold Estella while Tabu is playing eccentric Miss Havisham and Aditya Roy Kapur is Pip, an orphan. "Before I started casting, Katrina did reach out to me. She heard that I am making this book and she had read it in her school. She wanted to be a part of it. She is perfect for the role as she is very beautiful and she is also aspirational like her character in the film," Abhishek told media.
