Apparently, Priyanka was very keen on
playing the role of Amrita Pritam in
Gustakhiyan, a poignant tale of the
relationship between the legendary poet,
Sahir Ludhianvi and renowned poetess,
Amrita
Priyanka Chopra's mother, Madhu Chopra,
has denied reports that the actress has
opted out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
Gustakhiyan, because she was unable to
come on board as co-producer. "Priyanka
was no doubt in talks with Bhansali, but
the two couldn't fit their time schedules to
discuss the film. The question of co-
producing would have come in only at a
later stage. As of now, nothing has gone
forward, Madhu reveals. She adds that
Priyanka had never made it mandatory
that she should co-produce the films she
was acting in, "The producer and actor
are two different sets of people. This is a
mere speculation, Chopra says, adding
that Bhansali was very well capable of
going ahead with the project as an
independent producer, "He can make it on
his own, why will he need a co-
producer? she asks.

Sahir Ludhianvi and renowned poetess,
Amrita. Madhu says, "It is a beautiful and
coveted subject and it is good that
Bhansali is making it. As a matter of fact,
only a maker like Sanjay can do justice to it
and he should make it, she said.
Prior to this, Madhu had denied reports
that Priyanka had voiced her reservations
as a co-producer about having Abhishek
Bachchan play the main protagonist in the
film, "She would be the last person to
make such suggestions. It is Bhansali's
call. He is the captain of the ship, she
says.
Priyanka is currently in India on an
extended vacation where she is looking at
sealing some interesting projects that she
had earlier lined up, besides spearheading
the international campaign of her
Sikkimese film, Pahuna, which is due to be
premiered at the Toronto International
Film Festival shortly.
