Priyanka Chopra is NOT Marrying Nick Jonas Anytime Soon; Marriage Excuse Used To Exit From Salman Khan's Bharat?

Priyanka Chopra has walked out of Salman Khan's next Bharat. The makers of the film including the director Ali Abbas Zafar and Salman Khan, we hear, are in search of a leading lady now. Priyanka who was last seen with Salman Khan, more than a decade ago, has apparently cited her impending marriage with beau Nick Jonas as the reason for walking out of the project. But, reality, we gather, is quite different!

Chopra who is an A-lister in Hollywood now, thanks to her much successful series Quantico followed up by her Hollywood movie debut Baywatch, is not willing to compromise on content and her role in any endeavour. It now emerges that PeeCee exited from Salman Khan's movie perhaps because she was not happy with the role she was offered. Marriage then was promptly employed as an excuse, it was alleged. It is pertinent to note that Priyanka is happily available for Shonali to bose's next film The  Sky Is Pink as she is playing the central character in this. She was to shoot simultaneously for Bharat, in which her role is not as prominent as that of Salman.

A source close to the project confirms, “Priyanka Chopra starts shooting for our film from August 8 onwards, in Mumbai. If she were planning to get married soon, she would have informed us by now. She was supposed to join Salman Khan’s Bharat shoot in the second week of August. The plan was to shoot for both films simultaneously. Now, she’s only going to be shooting for our film.” Another source close to Shonali Bose’s film says that an impending wedding is not the reason for Priyanka’s decision to quit Bharat, reports Deccan Chronicle.

Nikhil Namit, the CEO of Reel Life Productions, who's co-producing Bharat, has reportedly alleged that Priyanka intimated the team just two days ago. He also called the move as unprofessional. "Priyanka told us she had to exit due to her engagement, two days ago. It was a little unprofessional of her to do it so suddenly," he was quoted as saying to a leading daily.
