Priyanka
Chopra
lost
out
her
role
in
Abbas
Mustan"s
remake
of
The
Italian
Job
because
of
Abhishek
Bachchan
-
that
was
what
media
reports
claimed
last
week.
Reportedly,
Abhishek
told
the
director
duo
to
throw
out
Priyanka
because
of
the
way
his
good
friend
and
filmmaker
Rohan
Sippy
was
left
in
a
lurch
by
Priyanka
Chopra.
Reportedly,
she
did
not
want
to
star
in
his
film,
opposite
a
lesser
known
star,
the
South
star
Rana
Daggubati.
However,
the
truth
is
that
Abbas-Mustan
are
extremely
upset
about
the
whole
thing
and
the
manner
in
which
Abhishek"s
name
was
unnecessarily
dragged
into
it.
Abbas
has
stated,
“The
star
cast
of
The
Italian
Job
was
finalized
long
time
back.
We
had
signed
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
and
Katrina
Kaif
in
the
first
go
and
Katrina
was
always
our
first
choice
so
there
was
no
question
of
talking
to
Priyanka
Chopra.
She
was
never
approached
or
spoken
to
for
this
role
so
how
can
Priyanka
lose
out
on
a
role
she
was
never
even
considered
for?"
Abbas
has
further
added
that
it
is
extremely
unfair
to
needlessly
drag
Abhishek"s
name
into
it
to
make
it
sound
like
a
controversy.
