There were certain films that never saw the light of the day, and one of them was with Ajay Devgn and Priyanka Chopra.

As per Priyanka Chopra’s novel, Unfinished, she has mentioned that she had to undergo minor nose surgery right before the shooting could begin. This surgery did not go as planned, and the actress’ face completely changed. This was the same time when she had signed four films, three in Hindi and one in Tamil. One of these films was Asar starring the late Dilip Kumar Ji and Ajay Devgn. Due to her changed look post-surgery, she was dropped out of the project.
Asar was scheduled to be directed by Kuku Kohli and Produced by Dinesh Patel. After Priyanka was dropped, the film got shelved due to unknown reasons.
Had this film been made, Priyanka Chopra and Ajay Devgn would have been the two lucky actors to have worked with the legendary Dilip Kumar.
