Priyanka Chopra's former manager ensures that her former boyfriend is out of an upcoming project that he's financing

Harman Baweja is being shown the door from Rajkumar Santoshi's next project because of his ex flame -- Priyanka Chopra.

The movie has the actress's controversial former business manager Prakash Jaju as a finance broker. He raised an objection to the presence of the Love Story 2050 actor in the movie.

Money ya actor?
Jaju, also a film financier, is associated with both Santoshi as well as Firoz Nadiadwala, the film's producer. Says a source, "Rajkumar Santoshi thought of casting Harman in an important role with his ensemble of top stars. When Jaju got wind of the casting, he made him choose between the money and Harman. Santoshi had no choice but to do a rethink."

The project is slated to feature Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt. Harman was a recent addition. An action thriller, it is set to go on the floors in 2011.

Earlier, too
This is not the first time that Priyanka's erstwhile manager has made it clear that he does not approve of Harman. He had created a buzz when he had checked on her mobile phone bills and found she was talking incessantly to Harman.

At that time he was still in her services. He felt that though she was denying her relationship with Harry Baweja's son, her being in touch with him could affect her work. As her manager, he felt he needed to stop her.

Santoshi and Baweja remained unavailable for comment.
