Priyanka Chopra quitting Salman Khan's Bharat gave rise to a lot of controversies as Salman was seen mocking PeeCee during the film's promotions. Reportedly, it was due to her wedding with Nick Jonas, the actress had to opt out from the project. But if the recent reports are to be believed, PeeCee doesn't want to be a part of the Bollywood project just because it has a big hero or big director's name.

As reported by Deccan Chronicle, a director friend of Priyanka was quoted saying, "Priyanka can’t take any Bollywood assignment just because it has a big hero’s or a big director’s name attached to it. Her role has to say something. She’s being watched very closely by fans across the world."
