Priyanka Chopra in Neelima Azim's next.

Shahid Kapoor's mother Neelima Azim has asked her son's ex-girlfriend Priyanka Chopra to be a part of the film. Interestingly, Shahid is aware of it and apparently, has no objections to his mother's choice.

Neelima and Priyanka met in Priyanka's flat, which is in the same building as Shahid's. Neelima said, "Yes, I met up with Priyanka at her house. She is the only girl in the industry whom I have approached. She fits the role."

Neelima claimed that she offered this role to Priyanka before the star was linked with her son. Explaining the heroine's role in the film, Neelima said, "The heroine appears only in the second half. It's a very vital role. In fact, I discussed two scripts with Priyanka. She liked both of them."

When asked if Priyanka will still be interested in the film since she has broken up with Shahid, Neelima shot back, "I get along very well with Priyanka. It's a very professional, but warm relationship. Of course, it will all depend on who the male actor is. Priyanka is in a certain league. If I get a damn good actor, but not a top star, I don't expect her to step in. But then, she may still sign up due to the fact that she loved the character which I want her to play."
