There have been widespread reports suggesting that Priyanka Chopra might be performing a “special number” in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming project Love & War. However, a source close to Bhansali has firmly dismissed these claims, calling them the “absurdest rumour in the history of Bollywood gossip.

”The source elaborated, clarifying the situation by recalling Priyanka’s past collaboration with Bhansali. “It’s true that Priyanka had done a special song in Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raas Leela: Ram Leela. But that was a favour, done only after Aishwarya Rai, who was originally supposed to perform the number, backed out at the last moment,” the insider explained. According to the source, Priyanka agreed to perform the song and dance sequence in Ram Leela on the condition that she would be cast as the leading lady in Bhansali’s next film.

Unfortunately, that promise was not fulfilled, leading to a significant fallout between the actress and the director. This history makes the current rumors about Priyanka’s involvement in Love & War highly unlikely, the source emphasized. “So no, Priyanka is not doing anything in Love & War,” they stated categorically. The clarification puts to rest speculation that had been circulating in Bollywood circles and on social media, where fans and industry watchers were abuzz with the possibility of another collaboration between the actress and the acclaimed filmmaker.

Priyanka Chopra’s relationship with Bhansali has been a topic of discussion for years, given their shared history and the publicized fallout. This latest denial confirms that the actress will not be part of Bhansali’s current project, despite ongoing rumors.As Love & War progresses, audiences will be keenly watching to see who will eventually star in the film and whether any new surprising collaborations might emerge. For now, Priyanka Chopra’s name is officially not on the list.
