Former beauty queen Priyanka Chopra keeps a conscious tab on her image. Her every move is calculated and well directed. After being rated as one of the most successful names in the Indian film industry and a popular name as an International popstar, Priyanka has now opted out of her movie Gustaakhiyaa opposite Irrfan Khan because she wanted the makers of the film to cast a 'commercially viable' actor.
Former Miss World was supposed to essay the role of the legendary literary figure Amrita Pritam in the movie.
Sometime back Priyanka had revealed that she was uncomfortable doing intimate scenes with Anu Kapoor in Vishal Bharadwaj'sSaat Khoon Maaf.
Sources revealed that Priyanka had reservations about being romantically paired opposite Irrfan. The off-beat pairing could have clashed with her very commercial image in her upcoming films like Mary Kom and Dil Dhadakne Do, besides her international popstar avatar.
Priyanka has clarified that she has got nothing against Irrfan. But despite being associated with quality projects, Irrfan is not seen as a commercial hero.
