Initially,
Priyanka
Was
Happy
About
Her
Role
"On
one
of
her
trips
to
India,
Priyanka
had
shot
for
two
days
for
Bharat,
in
Mumbai.
It
was
a
hush-hush
shoot
and
only
the
unit
knows
about
it.
Initially,
she
was
very
happy
about
her
role
as
PeeCee
is
there
right
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
as
the
film
is
about
a
couple
who
fall
in
love,
get
married
and
grow
old
together
as
their
life
keeps
coming
in
flashbacks."
But
The
New
Addition
Of
Stars
To
Bharat
Left
Her
Baffled
"But
while
Priyanka
was
in
the
US,
she
kept
getting
news
about
other
actors
getting
added
to
the
cast.
First
came
Disha
Patani
(and
her
role
was
increased),
then
Tabu
and
Nora
Fatehi
and
all
had
roles
specially
created
for
them."
PeeCee
Got
Skeptical
About
Bharat
&
Thought
It
Might
Look
Like
Race
3
"Apparently,
Salman
is
taking
the
call
for
these
roles
so
PeeCee
thought
that
she
might
face
the
same
problem
that
Jacqueline
Fernandez
faced
in
Race
3
-
of
getting
side-lined
by
Daisy
Shah
and
the
rest.
At
the
end
of
it
all,
Race
3
looked
more
of
an
ensemble
cast,
with
Bobby
Deol,
Freddy
Daruwala
and
Saqib
Salim,
than
a
Salman
Khan
film."
In
The
Last,
PeeCee
Opted
Herself
Out
Of
The
Film
The
source
further
added,
"In
Bharat,
besides
Tabu,
Disha
and
Nora
there's
also
Sunil
Grover
and
Aasif
Sheikh.
That's
why
PeeCee
thought
it
was
in
her
best
interest
to
leave
the
film."
Bharat
Wasn’t
Working
For
Her
Image
Pinkvilla
also
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Today
Priyanka
Chopra's
a
huge
international
star
and
to
be
part
of
a
film
like
Bharat,
which
is
looking
like
an
ensemble
cast,
day
by
day
would
not
work
for
her
image."
Initially,
Salman
Was
Upset
With
Her
Decision
"But
she's
also
very
close
to
Salman's
family
so
apparently,
she
could
not
tell
them
what
changed
her
mind.
Hence,
the
engagement
has
come
at
an
opportune
time
which
satisfies
everybody.
An
engagement
is
a
happy
time
and
nobody
can
grudge
her
that,
not
even
Salman,
who
initially
was
apparently
very
upset
about
her
walk-out."
Katrina
Might
Step
Into
Priyanka’s
Shoes
"Priyanka
is
currently
shooting
for
Shonali
Bose's
untitled
next.
She
plays
the
main
protagonist
and
the
role
is
befitting
her
image.
Katrina
Kaif
has
been
approached
to
step
into
PeeCee's
shoes
for
Bharat
and
will
soon
give
her
nod
to
it
post
her
return
from
London
where
she
is
spending
some
time
with
her
family."
