Did Parineeti Chopra refuse Gustakhiyaan after Priyanka Chopra?

Parineeti Chopra, who was offered Gustakhiyaan produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has apparently refused the film as well, after cousin Priyanka Chopra. The actress, fresh from the success of her film Golmaal Again, is not sure whether she is ready to take on such a role early in her career. Gustakhiyaan is the story of the relationship between two poets Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam.

“Parineeti had a chat with Priyanka as well, since she had refused the film, due to her busy schedule in Bollywood, Hollywood and her TV shows. Priyanka told her to see if she wanted to take on such a challenging role early in her career. Parineeti then cited date issues and refused the film,” says a source.

On the dates front, Parineeti will be shooting two films with Arjun Kapoor next year — Namastey Canada as well as Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. When we contacted Parineeti’s spokesperson, they said, “Parineeti is currently committed to doing only Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Namastey Canada. As and when she finalises more projects, they will be announced.”
