Priyanka Chopra Thrown Out of Dhoom Director Film!!

Priyanka Chopra, the sizzling hot sexy bombshell who was approached by Dhoom director Sanjay Gadhvi for his upcoming flick 7 Days In Paris, has been thrown out of the project due to her outrageous demand of Rs 5 crore for working in the film.

Sources say that initially the producers and director Sanjay Gadhvi were taken aback at the beautiful lass' demand but later tried to reason it out to some reasonable level. However, Piggy Chops was adamant on getting the full amount of Rs 5 crore if she was wanted in the film. Finally, Sanjay Gadhvi, who had directed the super duper hit film 'Dhoom' with Hrithik and Aishwarya for Yashraj, decided to dump Priyanka and wait for some other bollywood babe to work in the film.

One theory that is doing rounds in the industry about reasons Priyanka Chopra demanded such a huge amount is that she thought she was doing a favor by working opposite Imran Khan in '7 Days in Paris'. Sources say that Priyanka's reasoning was simple that Imran Khan might have been successful in 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na', but his 'Kidnap' with Sanjay Gadhvi had bombed at the box office, and so the upcoming film will largely depend on her craze at the box office, and hence the demand was justified.

Another theory in this regard has to do with Priyanka Chopra's upcoming mega- budget Yashraj flick 'Pyar Impossible'. Priyanka has been paired in the film with Uday Chopra (Yash Chopra's son) and to compensate this, Yashraj Films paid the oomph queen a sum of Rs 3 crore, which is great, considering the fact that Yashraj never pays handsomely to its stars.

Priyanka Chopra wanted the same Yashraj yardstick to apply in the case of Sanjay Gadhvi's flick '7 Days in Paris' and so demanded her price to work with a lesser star like Imran Khan. However, in this case director Sanjay Gadhvi and producers thought otherwise and threw Priyanka out of the project.

It may be recalled that Priyanka Chopra's latest films like 'Dostana', 'Fashion' etc, which proved to be super successful at the box office, have put her on a high pedestal, and hence her demand for Rs 5 crore was not fully unjustified (at least Priyanka thinks so).

However, as '7 Days in Paris' is scheduled to go on the floors by next month, director Sanjay Gadhvi has already initiated talks with other bollywood hot babes. Sources reveal that Gadhvi is already in advanced stage of talks with southern sensation Asin, who had made her bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in 'Ghajni'.

There is also talk that Imran Khan's heroine Genelia D'Souza from his hit film 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' may be roped in, if talks with Asin fail to come to some positive conclusion.

However, director Sanjay Gadhvi and Priyanka Chopra preferred to keep mum on the issue and remained unavailable for comment.

it's a fact YRF never pays good to their actors... SRK is the only actor who has not skyrocketed his price, so they can thank their lucky stars...!
i'm glad Priyanka got good money out of that PI... honestly, working against Uday Chopra... LOL... even 3 crores is less...!
she thought she was doing a favor by working opposite Imran Khan
yes, she was... 😆😆😆
demanded her price to work with a lesser star like Imran Khan.
😆 well, Imran is certainly a better star than Uday Chopra...!
However, in this case director Sanjay Gadhvi and producers thought otherwise and threw Priyanka out of the project.
obviously...!! even in this age and time, actresses NEVER get paid as much as they deserve... it's a man's world, unfortunately...!!

It's Genelia in PARIS with Imran

Rachana, Bollywood Trade News Network

Director Sanjay Gadhvi's forthcoming film 7 DAYS IN PARIS, starring Imran Khan in the lead, which has been making headlines for quite sometime over finalizing a leading lady for the film, now, as per the latest reports, has finally penciled in the bubbly & vivacious actress of Bollywood Genelia D'Souza.

After Katrina Kaif walked out of the project, the makers were planning to rope in either Kareena Kapoor or Asin. But unfortunately, both the ladies politely refused to be its part. Reports even suggest that Bollywood's hot in-demand actress Priyanka Chopra was also approached, but the sultry siren, who is riding high on the success of FASHION, demanded a whopping amount of Rs. 5 crore, which didn't really go down well with the producers and hence they decided to cast Genelia.

It must be recalled that Genelia was Imran's co-star in his first movie, blockbuster JAANE TU YA JAANE NA and their pairing was well-admired by one and all. Now Sanjay should heave a sigh of relief as he's got the best pair of B-town!

If this is true, I can't say I blame Priyanka. Dostana and Fashion were both hits and she proved herself to be a good actress in Fashion.

if it was any other actess, she would be considered 'snobbish' and 'flying too high'..... i don't think the problem is that she is demanding so much... it's more the reason that she is acting pricey... if it was another big star, would she ask the same...?
but in any case... priyanka is a great actress... and it's better in a way, she did not sign it... because imran looks way too young... so i doubt they would have been compatible...!

What's this proving herself to be a good actress thing?😆 If you watched her earlier movies like yakeen and aitraaz, you would know that she already did proved that she's a great actress.

Sanam - They just want to promote the movie with this article😆
But Katrina walked out of this movie because Imran cut the female role short and she didn't like it. Maybe Asin Or Priyanka didn't like that short role and newcomer Imran getting the bigger role😆

and i thought it was a good big role....!! and she liked the role but only said no because of the price thing.... now we know she had other reasons too...!!
i hope imran does not keep up these antics, because he's going to go into my dislike list soon...!! 😡
