Amidst reports of being offered 25 scripts for her perusal and doing films with Aamir Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Priyanka Chopra's mother, Madhu Chopra, says the actor presently has no time for Bollywood as she is tied up with commitments in the West.

"Priyanka has no time this year to do a Hindi film," informs the star mom.

There have been reports that the actor will play Khan's wife in the biopic on astronaut Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian to travel in space. There is also buzz that PeeCee is teaming up with Bhansali for Gustakhiyan and will apparently play the role of renowned poet Amrita Pritam in the film.

"I have not seen any paperwork or documents, so I can't say anything [of Priyanka working with Bhansali]. The film that he is working on is nice. I have read the script and it is beautiful. I think he is the right person to make it," Chopra says. "If he [Bhansali] is making it this year, then Priyanka is definitely not doing it. Priyanka and Bhansali are good friends, they share a warm relationship. They meet whenever she is in Mumbai," the star mom adds.

On Tuesday, the actor left for Canada, to attend the Toronto Film Festival 2017, which kicks off today. Chopra's Sikkimese production Pahuna is being screened at the festival, which runs till September 17.
