A lot of stories about Priyanka Chopra have been making rounds since the time she walked out of Salman Khan's film 'Bharat'.

Now we hear that it was Priyanka herself who had approached the superstar and director Ali Abbas Zafar to take her in their film 'Bharat'.

A source close to Salman Khan on condition of anonymity has revealed to Bollywood Hungama, "This is madness. Considering, it was Priyanka Chopra who was keen to be in the film. She approached Salman and his director Ali Abbas Zafar at a time when they had almost finalized Katrina Kaif. Priyanka told them she wanted to come back to Bollywood. Now, when Bharat has gone on the floors she has second thoughts?"

The source has further added that Ali's way of announcing Priyanka's exit and hint at her marriage to Nick was all a "whitewashing job". Reason? He is good friend's with the actress and didn't want to deter her image.

Adds the source, "The director, who is a close friend of Priyanka, doesn't want any ugly controversy about Priyanka's exit. So he's making it sound like an amicable parting, which it is not. Salman is hardly going to be pacified by the marriage alibi.

Considering, it was she (Priyanka) who wanted to be part of the project. And, now she's had second thoughts because of marriage? Nonsense! If she was getting married, she'd have planned it for after shooting for Bharat. This is not small film and opting out of it more or less seals her plans for a Bollywood comeback."

About Katrina Kaif stepping into Priyanka's shoes, the source says, "She was the first choice. And she's also a close buddy of the director from the time she played the lead in his directorial debut Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Perhaps, she was destined to be Bharat ki Bharati all along."
