The incident took place in 2022 when Asim Riaz made a shocking claim against an influential person and his father. Without revealing the name he said that he was promised a role in the film. However, things didn't go as planned. He concluded that the person was using his name to hype his own movie.
Taking to Twitter, Asim wrote, "My father was promised a movie project from an influential personality from the industry. For more than one year they used my name for the hype of the project, all the big media publications spoke about it and confirmed it, all I want to say is all the fake promises won't make me feel down. The pressure and anxiety they have given me will never make me stop doing what I doing ryt now so mujhey apne tour se duniya ko jeene de." The tweet was posted on Aug 21, 2022. It now stands deleted.
His then-girlfriend Himanshi Khurana also posted a cryptic tweet to support him. The former Bigg Boss 13 contestant wrote, "Listen to the silence. It¡¯s telling the truth."

Asim Riaz tweeted this around the same time when media reports were abuzz with news of him being cast in Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, which was then titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.
In fact, the rapper-model had himself revealed in an audio chat with DJ Noreen Khan on BBC Asian Network, "There was a picture Salman sir told my dad about that he's planning some movie. I think that movie is gonna come to me, but for that, I need to be ready, physically mentally, my diction has to be on track. It's a huge investment. Whatever character I'm playing, I should be into it."
It was reported that Asim was zeroed in for the role of Salman's brother. For the unversed, Khan had three brothers in the movie Ishq (played by Raghav Juyal), Moh (played by Jassie Gill) and Love (played by Siddharth Nigam). These reports however were unsubstantial.
For the unversed, before participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Asim Riaz was a participant in Bigg Boss 13. He was the first runner-up in the show won by Sidharth Shukla. Years later, Asim had hinted that the show's winner was rigged.
