It was in the morning itself that filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar announced that Priyanka Chopra is no more a part of his upcoming, Bharat, also featuring Salman Khan and Disha Patani among others. He wrote a post on Twitter in a rather creative way:

By 'creative', we meant his usage of Nick's name. Well, after this tweet and also what a few international publications wrote about Nick and Priyanka, hell broke loose and rumours of the two having an October wedding started surfacing.

Now, adding to the news, the speculations are also rife that Katrina Kaif might be stepping into the shoes of Priyanka in Bharat. This shouldn't be a big surprise though considering how well does the actress bond with both Salman and Ali.

While there's no official confirmation on the same, it's just a matter of time that the name of the actress will be out. The shoot of the film has already begin and considering Priyanka was to shoot for the film starting from mid-August, the makers would be trying for an immediate solution. The addition of Katrina into the already studded star-cast would just add to the film's buzz.

Other names that are associated with Bharat are Jackie Shroff, Tabu, Sunil Grover, Shashank Arora. The names of Aasif Shaikh, Anant Vidhaat Sharma and Saurabh Shukla are also said to be a part of the film.

Bharat is the big Eid 2019 release.
