Priyanka Chopra is currently acting in a biopic about 'Mary Kom', and will be interested to know her ex-boyfriend is planning on producing a biopic about her.

Aseem Merchant, who was in a relationship with 'Piggy Chops' around the year 200, is producing the project under his new production house,Limelight Motion Pictures Pvt Ltd.

The film will cover the fallout between Priyanka and her ex-manager Prakash Jaju (who infamously leaked her call records to Akshay Kumar). According to Prakash, the actress owed him a large sum of money, and refused to clear the dues, which was when he was alleged to start interfering within her personal life. Ashok Chopra (Priyanka's late dad) then filed a case against him, and Prakash fled before being arrested.

Aseem says, “The film will depict everybody who interacted with Jaju while he was working with Priyanka. My association with Priyanka is long over. I have started a company to make films. My second film may upset someone else,” he said adding, “Priyanka is a lovely person and I am proud of her.”

Interestingly, Jaju kept in touch with Aseem for over a decade and seems to be fine the film. He said, “I’m fine with Aseem’s film. It chronicles Priyanka’s life from the day she entered the film industry till I was put in jail. There will be actors who portray Hema Malini, Sridevi and Jackie Shroff too since I handled their work, before turning into a fund manager. It was only because Priyanka’s father insisted that I take up her work that I returned to Bollywood.”
“We are in the process of finalising a competent director,” concluded Aseem.
