Rumours in the film industry spread like wild fire. Sources revealing the reason for Priyanka Chopra ‘walking out’ of Salman Khan’s most ambitious project ‘Bharat’ has ignited the speculations. Though it is yet not clear on what exactly happened and why Priyanka Chopra opted out of ‘Bharat’, you must read on to know the reason.
Bollywood Bubble reports that as soon as director Ali Abbas Zafar put a tweet declaring that Priyanka Chopra had indeed opted out of Bharat, there were rumours of possible rift between the famous actors between Salman and Priyanka. Even there were speculations that Priyanka opted out citing Salman chopping her role in the upcoming film. Also, there were websites reports which cited Priyanka did not want to play second fiddle to Salman.
Denying any such news, the CEO of Reel life production Pvt Ltd, Nikhil Namit, said, “These allegations are simply not true. How can anyone allege that Priyanka’s role was chopped in the film? ‘Bharat’ is based on the ‘Ode To My Father’, which is the highest grossing film in Korean history. So obviously the roles have been allocated as per the original film. She knows the script of the film. These websites need to think twice before making serious accusations against someone and spreading fake news. ‘Bharat’ is the biggest film of 2019 and is mounted on a huge scale.”
He further stated, “There is not an iota of truth behind the rumours that Priyanka walked out of the film due to the length of her role. There was no screen test or look test done for her as it was planned in August. She hadn’t even begun shooting for the film, as her schedule was from September. We totally respect her decision to say no to the film due to personal reasons, but these rumours need to be put to rest.”
We have all seen how social media has the ability to spread the fake news in such times, the least we can expect from the gossip websites and handles is to behave responsibly.
