Rohan, who had earlier worked with Priyanka in "Bluffmaster", was also keen to cast her in his Goan drug-busting film. He wanted to cast Priyanka in a powerful role opposite the southern star Rana Daggubati, who is entering Bollywood.

The earlier plan was to cast Priyanka opposite Abhishek Bachchan. But now a newcomer will be paired with Abhishek while Priyanka was seriously considered opposite Daggubati.

"Unfortunately the dates on which Priyanka was required for Rohan's film clashed with Vishal Bharadwaj's film," said an industry source.
