Priyanka Chopra Loses Bhansali To Salman

Although  Priyanka Chopra was very keen  to  work with Sanjay Bhansali again after Bajirao Mastani she  has  just lost the chance to do so.

The reason, in two words, is Salman Khan.

 The minute he was  signed  as  the  lead for Bhansali’s next,  Priyanka  was out  of the reckoning.

 By now  everyone who  subscribes  to tinsel tattle knows the  rather  ugly history that Priyanka shares with the  Khan superstar. For years after David Dhawan’s Mujhse Shaadi Karogi Salman refused to work with Priyanka(the film’s other hero Akshay Kumar  also refused to work with her, but that’s another story).

Their bridges were  finally mended  when Priyanka cajoled Ali Abbas Zafar , the  director  of  the Salman starrerBharat, to cast her opposite him in  the film. After  much persuasion Salman  agreed….only for  her to walk out of the  film at the  last minute.

Laughs  one of Salman’s closest  buddies,  “You think Bhai will ever work with her again? Not in this  life. Bhansali had to chose between Bhai and Priyanka. And  the  choice  is  a no-brainer.”
