Priyanka Chopra was apparently very keen to work in director Rohan Sippy's next but unfortunately she had to decline the offer as the shooting dates clashed with Vishal Bharadwaj's "Ek Bataa Saat", in which she plays a woman with seven husbands.

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.
