Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra were supposed to do the remake of Bride Wars together but are not doing it anymore because they are not on talking terms.
Katrina and Priyanka signed up for the remake of the Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson movie last year and they were supposed to start shooting this year but there is a change in plan. Here is how it happened.
Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor were shooting in New York for Anjaana-Anjaani. They were both warming up towards each other because of their newly single status as Ranbir had broken up with Deepika and Priyanka was no longer seeing Shahid. Before things could get hot, Katrina Kaif landed in New York to declare her place in his life. Priyanka backed away from Ranbir. It was a very hush-hush trip and only Priyanka caught wind of it. Katrina got scared because of that. When the unit returned to Mumbai, the news of her visit spread and Katrina thinks Priyanka has spread the news.
Now, both the actresses cannot stand each other. Katrina wants to confront Priyanka about the whole thing. Priyanka couldn't be less bothered because she has more important things to do than gossip about Katrina and Ranbir. Moreover, Bride Wars' is Priyanka's best friend Shrishti Arya's production so Katrina walked out of it in spire of her meaty role. She should have stuck around as their cold vibes and enmity would have reflected on screen and helped them give real performances!
Katrina also walked out of Anurag Basu's film after she found out Priyanka would play a parallel lead. Asin is doing that film now.
Only solo-heroine films for Katrina Kaif - at least for now. That's what the actress has decided after a string of successes from Namaste London to Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Soon after reports that Katrina had agreed to be part of a film which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, comes news that she has opted out of the Anurag Basu film.
But the more immediate reason for Katrina could be that she has finally acquired the rights to produce the remake of a French film - she's been after it for almost a year now and wants to immediately allot time for this pet project. Having signed Dostana 2 and Zoya Akhtar's next, besides Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan (for which she's shooting at the moment), the only way she could accommodate this remake was to refuse any other projects this year.
The remake of the French film will feature Katrina as a scheming gold-digger. She has apparently been pining to play a grey role for some time now. |
