Reports about Priyanka Chopra walking out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gustakhiyan’ have been making a lot of buzz lately. Apparently, PeeCee walked opted out of the project due to reasons unknown, which was then followed by Abhishek Bachchan too calling it quits. Since PeeCee was supposed to co-produce the film along with Bhansali, it was reported that the filmmaker has now been left in a lurch without a lead pair and a co-producer.
However, PeeCee’s mother Madhu Chopra recently cleared the air around the subject. She said, “Priyanka was no doubt in talks with Bhansali, but the two couldn’t fit their time schedules to discuss the film. The question of co-producing would have come in only at a later stage. As of now, nothing has gone forward.” She further said that it was never finalised that PeeCee would co-produce the movie. “The producer and actor are two different sets of people. This is a mere speculation,” asserted Madhu. She further added, “He can make it on his own, why will he need a co-producer? It is a beautiful and coveted subject and it is good that Bhansali is making it. As a matter of fact, only a maker like Sanjay can do justice to it and he should make it.”
“She (Priyanka) would be the last person to make such suggestions. It is Bhansali’s call. He is the captain of the ship,” said Madhu before signing off.
