Everyone
Thought
Bharat
Was
Katrina's
Film
But
Priyanka
Was
Very
Keen
To
Do
The
Film
An
IANS
report
quoted
Salman
as
saying,
"No,
not
a
wrong
cast.
But
initially,
Priyanka
was
very
keen
to
do
this
film.
Ali
(director
Ali
Abbas
Zafar)
and
we
all
thought
it
was
Katrina
Kaif's
film.
But
Katrina
and
I
did
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
just
before
that
and
Ali
said
that
we
need
a
girl
who
is
‘Hindustani'."
Salman
Calls
Priyanka
Chopra's
Last
Minute
Exit
As
'Embarrassing'
"I
tried
telling
him,
‘Why
can't
she
(Katrina)
pull
off
this
role?
She
has
been
living
in
India
for
the
last
20
years.' But
then
Ali
said,
‘Priyanka
ka
phone
aaya
tha
(we
got
a
call
from
Priyanka)'
and
it
is
also
true
that
Priyanka
and
my
sister
Arpita
Khan
are
good
friends.
"After
all
this,
the
‘Nick
story'
happened,
the
embarrassing
thing
happened
and
she
chose
to
get
married."
'Priyanka
Thought
I
Would
Get
Upset
With
Her
&
Never
Walk
With
Her'
Salman
further
added,
"Look,
she
did
the
right
thing.
She
did
what
she
wanted,
and
Katrina
got
what
she
deserved.
She
(Priyanka)
informed
us
five
days
before
the
schedule
was
supposed
to
start...
she
must
have
thought
that
in
this
way
I
would
get
upset
with
her
and
will
never
work
with
her."
Salman
Was
Ready
To
Adjust
The
Shooting
Schedule
Dates
For
Priyanka
"She
spoke
to
me
saying,
‘Nick
(American
actor-singer
Nick
Jonas)
has
proposed
to
me
and
I
want
to
get
married,
so
there
will
be
some
date
issues'.
I
said,
‘Sure,
get
married,
we
can
adjust
those
two,
three
days.
Then
she
said
that
she
does
not
want
to
do
the
film."
Ouch!
While
Salman
believes
Priyanka
is
a
hard-working
actress,
who
efficiently
maintains
her
career
in
Bollywood
as
well
as
in
the
American
entertainment
industry,
the
actor
said
it
takes
guts
to
leave
one
of
the
biggest
films
of
her
career
to
get
married.
