Priyanka is not SRK's choice for Vishal's nextsr

Priyanka Chopra may have declared herself as SRK's biggest fan, but it seems Bollywood's King Khan dosen't believe in favoritism. Rumor has it that SRK has insisted Vishal Bhardwaj to drop PC and hunt for a fresh face for his adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's '2 States'.


The actor who has previously acted in 'Don' (2006), and is currently shooting for 'Don 2' with SRK, was finalized for the lead role in Vishal's film until Shahrukh suggested the director that she might not suit the role.

Priyanka axed from Vishal's next?
Recently, multiple tabloids had reported that SRK replaced Saif in Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of '2 States.' Now, the industry insiders reveal that PC, too, might get axed from the film.

Earlier the film was to be made by 'Anjaana Anjaani' director Siddharth Anand with Saif and Priyanka in lead roles. Although, Saif and Siddharth are no longer a part of the project, Priyanka was always the first choice for the female lead.

SRK and Sajid Nadiadwala are co-producers of the film. A source said, "Initially when the film was solely produced by Nadiadwala, it was Siddharth Anand who was directing the film and Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka were to play the lead roles.

"Although Saif and Siddharth are no longer in the project, Priyanka still continued to be the choice for the leading lady. Until now that is," the source added.

Explaining the whole matter, the source revealed, "Vishal flew down to Berlin, where SRK and Piggy were shooting for Don 2. He narrated the revised script to both the actors in the same room; sure enough they liked it. This was the second narration Piggy Chops was hearing, after the one from Siddharth."

Scuttlebutt has it that after listening the script, Shah Rukh insisted Vishal, who has already worked with Priyanka in 'Kaminey' and 'Saat Khoon Maaf', to drop Piggy Chops out of the project and search for a new face instead.

"He told Vishal that he knew Priyanka was one of his favourite heroines, but the demands of the script could not be ignored," the source said.

Hope Priyanka knows that!
