Priyanka Chopra fans were super happy after the actress had announced that she would be a part of Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat. The film which is a remake of Korean film Ode To My Father also stars Salman Khan and Disha Patani. As all of us were super excited about the film, Priyanka fans, we have some bad news for you. The actress has backed out of the project. Ali took to social media to clarify that PeeCee who was making her Bollywood comeback with Bharat is no longer a part of the film.
The director stated that the actress has opted out owing to a very special reason and the team is happy with her decision.
Ali tweeted,
Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of @Bharat_TheFilm & and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her … Team Bharat wishes @priyankachopra loads of love & happiness for life ???

While Ali’s tweet wished Priyanka loads of love, the ‘Nick of time’ reference didn’t miss our eye. For a very long time now, reports about Priyanka tying the knot with Nick have been doing rounds. Is Ali hinting at the same? Only time can tell.
Bharat went on floors recently and Salman and Disha had already begun shooting for it. The first schedule includes shooting for a grand circus sequence, and Ali had already shared a sneak peek of the same featuring Salman raising our anticipation for the film. Salman will yet again treat the audience for the festive season of Eid next year with the release of this drama.
Let’s wait and watch which Bollywood actress steps into Priyanka’s shoes for this one!
