Priyanka Chopra walking out of Salman Khan's Bharat may have shredded hopes and dreams of all fans. However, comedian Sunil Grover has come with a solution to the casting perils of Ali Abbas Zafar. Nope, it has nothing to do with Katrina Kaif, although most believed her to be the next ideal person to fit the role. Turns out Sunil himself, is interested in stepping in the shoes of the role 'desi girl' PeeCee walked out of. That's right, Sunil has urged Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar to cast him, aka Nancy, as Priyanka Chopra's replacement in the film!

The artist took to Twitter to share his thoughts about the role, in English, while adding that he would like to romance Salman and is ready for the challenge! In a video shared by Sunil, dressed as 'Nancy', he stated the same. He even got a response from Ali, calling him funny (no doubt there!). To which, Grover replied that he'll soon be sending an audition video. Things could only get better from this innocent banter. And, clearly, it's quite an unexpected dig that Priyanka definitely didn't see coming! Check out the video below:

Earlier this week, reports of Priyanka Chopra, walking out of Salman Khan's Bharat surfaced, leaving many fans heartbroken and producers, a tad bit upset. Apparently, the actress got engaged to beau Nick Jonas and is planning an October wedding. This new development in her personal life led to her stepping out of her first Bollywood film in two years.

Having left the spot of the leading lady open and up for grabs, we wonder which lucky actress would find the opportunity to share the screen with Salman Khan. While the makers find an ideal replacement for Priyanka Chopra, we're quite curious to know when PeeCee and Nick will tie the knot and what their wedding will be like!
