The makers of Bharat are currently busy promoting the film as its just days away from the release. This Eid special release has been in buzz ever since Priyanka Chopra Jonas walked out of it. Bharat actor Salman Khan takes a dig at her at every interview he gives and that even annoyed Katrina Kaif once. But is the film’s director Ali Abbas Zafar upset with Priyanka? In an interview with a leading newspaper, the filmmaker has called Priyanka as his ‘Good Friend’ and we’re sure, this must have made all her fans happy. Bharat Director Ali Abbas Zafar Reveals Why Priyanka Chopra Jonas QUIT From Salman Khan-Starrer.

In an interview to BT Ali Abbas Zafar revealed that Priyanka Chopra Jonas was ready to manage Bharat, but then why didn’t she do it? The director was quoted saying, “Priyanka was doing something, which was giving her a lot of happiness. She said that she could manage the film, but her dates would go for a toss. I couldn’t do anything about it, as I had already zeroed in on my release date. If that wasn’t the case, we could have pushed it. However, I wasn’t upset. Marriage is very important, and Priyanka is still a good friend of mine. When Katrina came on board, I gave her the script and told her that we would retain only what she wanted. However, after reading it, she told me that she didn’t want anything changed.” Salman Khan Takes a Dig at Priyanka Chopra AGAIN, Katrina Kaif Tells Him to 'Relax' – Watch Video.

This makes pretty clear that all is well between Ali Abbas Zafar and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. But now fans want Bhai to stop ranting over PeeCee’s exit from the film. Bharat is all set to release on June 5 and we hope, Salman Khan will stop taking a dig at Priyanka Chopra Jonas every now and again.
