Katrina stays, Priyanka parts ways

PC won't be in Abbas-Mustaan's next. And here's why...

Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra are coming together in Shrishti Behl's remake of the Bride Wars. The two ladies were also to come together for Abbas Mustaan's home productionu00a0-- a remake of The Italian Jobu00a0-- but that isn't happening anymore.



There are various versions of why Priyanka is no longer in the film.

Shared history
Abbas-Mustaan and Priyanka go back since Aitraaz and they were keen on repeating her. When they started working on their home production (co-produced by TV18), they signed Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif for the main leads but had one more interesting role for another heroine in the film, for which they approached Priyanka."

Apparently, Priyanka too wasu00a0keen to work with the director duo again. However, Katrina was not comfortable at another actress being added to the cast at a later stage. She spoke to the directors and told them to ensure that she had the bigger role. Or at least equal footage in the film or she would walk out.

No choice
Abbas-Mustaan had no choice but to appease Kat, as she was already signed. Priyanka (the National award winning actress) is feeling let down by the director duo but is putting up a brave front by maintaining that she was never approached for the role. A stance adopted by Abbas-Mustaan too as they feel bad about the way the whole thing ended."
