Priyanka Chopra Won’t Co-Produce Gustakhiyan With Sanjay Bhansali

Though it is pretty clear by now that Priyanka Chopra’s next Bollywood assignment is  the Sanjay Leela Bhansali production of Gustakhiyan, the speculation about Priyanka co-producing the film with Bhansali is dismissed by sources close to Bhansali as “completely baseless”.

“As of now,they are most  working together on Gustakhiyan.  But only as  producer and  actress.It will not be  a co-production with Sanjay Bhansali,” says the source.

Also it is not quite clear when Priyanka would actually get the time to do an Indian film .After Baywatch she has signed two other Hollywood films which will keep her busy in  the West till the end of 2018.

“So we really don’t know when  Priyanka will actually get down to doing Gustakhiyaan .If she is unavailable  for an extended period, Sanjay Bhansali may offer the role of  author Amrita Pritam to someone else,” says the source.

Gustakhiyan , to be  directed by debutant Jasmeet Reen recreates the stormy relationship between poet Sahir Ludhianvi and authorAmrita Pritam.
