One would never see two big-time heroines acting together in a film, as no two actresses can be friends especially if they are in the same league So when Rose Films announced a film starring Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif, there was ample reason to cheer. Actually on the flip side, it was too-good-to-be-true news. And, so it turned out to be; it didn’t take long for this bit of good news to turn untrue. Kat has walked out of the film, and is breathing fire in Priyanka’s direction. The film will never be made, (not with this pair anyway) and chances of what could have been the beginning of a good working relationship or friendship between the two girls, now stands ruined forever.

So what went wrong between the two gorgeous ladies lets rewind the story when Priyanka and Katrina had signed the film, they weren’t the best of friends but they didn’t have any problems with each other either. There was no conflict. They hadn’t worked together, so there was no ego hassle. And since they weren’t doing the same kind of films, there was no creative animosity. Even their personal worlds were far removed from each other. In the case of these two cool cats, it was a cattier boy to blame – Ranbir Kapoor.

During the shoot for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Anjaana Anjaani in US Priyanka and Ranbir were both single and hurting, perhaps they sought in each other’s company some healing. The film, incidentally, is just a two-cast fare providing ample opportunity to bond on a personal level beyond the creative and the professional. But Priyanka was blissfully unaware of the fact that Ranbir had also been bedazzled by his co-star, Katrina Kaif not long ago.

When the news of the Chopra girl and the Kapoor boy bonding reached Mumbai, Kat took the next flight to New York. Her presence there could easily be seen as a statement towards highlighting her true affections. Not one to fight over any man, Priyanka gracefully backed out of the other actress’ domain. Somehow, the tabloids back home got wind of the Kat-Ranbir rendezvous, forcing Kat to hop on to the next flight to the UK, perhaps to silence the gossip mills. But once home, friends close to the actress reveal that she blamed Priyanka for the interruption.

Katrina also walked out of Anurag Basu film Silence where he was thinking of casting Priyanka as the other leading lady opposite Ranbir. As soon as Priyanka became a part of the project, Katrina raised an objection. According to a source close to Anurag, “Kat told Anurag Basu that though she still wanted to do the film, she would however prefer that Priyanka was not made a part of the project. But when she realised that the director was really keen on Ms Chopra, she walked out of the project feeling cheated of a film that she had first been signed on for.” And, the resentment blues continued to grow on both sides.

The last straw came for Priyanka Chopra when she lost on prestigious project of Abbas Mastan’s home production, which is a remake of The Italian Job film stars Abhishek Bachchan and according to sources; Priyanka had sent feelers to the director duo for the female lead. It came as a biggest jolt for Priyanka when she was informed that Katrina was signed instead.

Priyanka has established her prowess as a thinking actress, but Katrina Kaif too has her edge by being one of Bollywood’s most popular actresses at the moment. She is predictably angry because she believes Priyanka is trying to disturb her firming foothold in the industry, personally and professionally. The stage is set for the big catfight…
