In 2002, Rai planned to shift to the action thriller genre after Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat.

I made the film ('PIAM') not on intuition and belief but on marketing strategies and counsels from trade persons insisting that love stories were the trend of the day.

"[6] In that same year, Rai started his new project with a comeback to action genre and titled it Asambhav.

[8] Rampal and Rai were in Dil Ka Rishta that released on 17 January 2003 and Asambhav marked their second pairing.

[10] Noticing on Shah's previous success in a negative role, Rai cast him as the villain in his latest action thriller.

[11][12] The total cast was of 55 artists including model turned actress Dipannita Sharma, Tom Alter and Sharat Saxena among others.

"[14] After the casting was finalised, Rajiv Rai flew to Switzerland, and the film was shot in Ticino.

Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff wrote, "Asambhav, starring Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra, is a good film.

"[19] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave a rating of 1 out of 5 stars and wrote, "On the whole, ASAMBHAV is a weak film in all respects.

"[18] Subhash K. Jha of IANS wrote "Asambhav is arguably the only mainstream film ever with no mother-figure on the hectic horizon.

In the United Kingdom, the film hit fifteen screens in the first weekend of 23 July and collected £16,894.

The soundtrack consisted of eleven tracks, including five songs, five instrumental versions and a special 'Asambhav Theme'.

The director Rajiv Rai and the supporting actor Naseeruddin Shah also sang in the movie.

He wrote, "Viju Shah´s "Asambhav" might not exactly win the award for the best soundtrack of the year, but there are some pretty darn good tunes here.

"[23] Runaq Kotecha of Glamsham wrote "The music of Asambhav once again confirms that Viju Shah is certainly one of the best composers that we have when it comes to delivering expeditious racy tracks with ultra modern electronic beats.

However, in the midst of all the upbeat technology and heavy duty musical instruments, the tunes seem to be taking a back seat.
