Priyanka Says No to Pushpa Raj?

The Bunny-Atlee film has been officially announced. Touted as a sci-fi project with a whopping Rs 600 crore budget, the buzz is already sky-high. Now, the search for the film’s leading lady is making headlines too.

Since it's a pan-India film, the makers were reportedly keen on casting a top-tier heroine — and approached none other than Priyanka Chopra. However, gossip suggests that she has turned down the offer.

Priyanka is already committed to Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu’s upcoming project, with a flexible schedule that requires her to be available whenever the team needs her. On top of that, she has reportedly agreed to do Krrish 4 after being approached by her close friend Hrithik Roshan. The two even had a meeting just yesterday.

Besides these, she also has two Hollywood series in hand. With such a packed schedule, Priyanka couldn’t allot dates for the Allu Arjun-Atlee film.

At the moment, there's a shortage of pan-India heroines. Rashmika Mandanna is already tied up with Pushpa 1 and Pushpa 2. Kiara Advani is reportedly pregnant. Katrina Kaif has cut down on her film work. Deepika Padukone hasn’t resumed shooting yet. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor are swamped with back-to-back projects.
