This morning fans woke up to the shocking news of Priyanka Chopra walking out of Salman Khan starrer Bharat. While the shooting of the film has already begun and the actress was expected to join the team on August 8, she happened to back out of the project last minute. While a newspaper report suggested that PeeCee has bagged a bigger project, Ali Abbas Zafar took to announce publically on Twitter that she will be getting married to Nick Jonas and that's why she exited the project.

Now that has got fans wondering who would replace Priyanka in the movie. given the chemistry and the rapport they share with each other,  Twitterati thinks Katrina Kaif would be perfect for the role opposite Salman Khan, we think Ali could consider some other actresses too. Here's check out the list below:

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Though Kareena had hinted in an interview earlier about doing very few films in a year, we think she should definitely bag this project. She shares a wonderful rapport with Salman and we have seen it in Bajrangi Bhaijaan how comfortable they are around each other, on screen.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika has been forever hinting at working with Salman and Bhai too has been looking forward to it. But with Deepika's wedding with Ranveer Singh around the corner, we aren't quite sure if she could juggle between the two. Nonetheless, they sure do make a great pair and we'd love to see them together.
