Choreographer Saroj Khan’s plan of casting Priyanka Chopra in her first directorial film ‘Sati’ has been consigned to flames.
The noted choreographer is turning to direction with a hard-hitting, women-oriented film called ‘Sati’, which is written by Makrand Deshpande. Priyanka had the script narration from Saroj Khan for a couple of times before she reportedly gave her verbal consent to the project.
However, just weeks before the film’s shooting was to begin, the actress has excused herself from the movie. Reports say she has signed a plum three-film deal with UTV that leaves her no time for Saroj’s film.
Another theory doing the rounds is that Priyanka was daunted by her challenging role in ‘Sati’.
The movie required Priyanka to play an actress who gets to enact the role of a friend who committed sati.
According to Makrand Deshpande, the role is very demanding and would drain an actress.
So was that why Priyanka got cold feet?
Whatever the case, the fact is she is out of ‘Sati’, and Saroj Khan is left searching for a suitable replacement.
