Katrina Kaif replaces Priyanka Chopra in Salman Khan's 'Bharat'

While the news of Priyanka Chopra walking out of Bharat has shocked everyone in the know, it hasn’t got the film team too worked up. In fact, they have gone back to their original choice for the movie.

Says a source, “Producers Atul and Alvira Agnihotri share a warm relationship with Katrina Kaif and when this whole mishap happened, they just called her and sorted out her dates. She will play the lead opposite Salman Khan now.” Kareena Kapoor Khan, as reported, was also in the running; but apparently, she had already given her dates to another film. “Katrina will join the team September onwards, and before that, she will finish all her other work commitments,” adds our source.
