While Rohit Shetty was busy shooting his comedy thriller, Sunday Hindi movie in Delhi, he forgot the story sitting session with Kareena Kapoor. Rohit Shetty said:
“I was busy shooting for Sunday in Delhi and was quite hassled with all the stress I had to face due to the busy location of Chandni Chowk in Delhi. My producers of Golmaal Returns called me up and informed that they had set up a tele-conference with Kareena at 4 pm. I completely forgot about the call I had to make and next thing I know, I received a call that Kareena was willing to be a part of the film. Apparently, someone else on my behalf explained the script to her and she was game for it. It was only later that I had a detailed chat with her about her part in the film. But by that time she was already on board,”

Chandni Chowk Crisis
In Nepal, there were protests against the film due to a passing claim that Buddha was born in India; Lumbini, which is the birthplace of Buddha, is located in Nepal.
Several shows were cancelled due to heavy protests from students and youth groups.
Protests included threats by Buddhists to burn movie theaters that screened the film, and racial slurs like "Dhoti" (the Indian term for a form of traditional clothing which is used as a derogatory racial slur against Indians in Nepal).
The protests continued for several days, despite the Nepali distributor editing out the piece of narration that mentioned Buddha in the copies of the film shown in Nepal. On Thursday, January 22, Nepali cinemas stopped screening Chandni Chowk to China.
