After avoiding comment on Priyanka Chopra’s exit from their upcoming film Bharat, Salman Khan has finally said what is in his heart. The actor spoke at length about Priyanka’s decision to quit Bharat at the trailer launch of Loveratri in New Delhi on Monday.
Salman said that Priyanka informed them about leaving the film 10 days before her shoot was to begin. “I am really happy for her. Had we known that she has signed such a big film in Hollywood and known it well in advance, we would not have stopped her from leaving our film. She told us at the very last moment, just 10 days before shoot. My shooting had already begun but we got to know she wants to leave the film just 10 days before shoot,” he said.
Film’s director Ali Abbas Zafar wrote in a tweet in July that Priyanka was leaving the film in the ‘Nick of time’, hunting at her reported engagement to singer Nick Jonas. It was later revealed that she has also signed an action movie, Cowboy Ninja Viking with Chris Pratt.
