However she had a meeting with director Anil Sharma who has agreed to take her in lead. A source reveals “Priyanka met Salman last week at his Galaxy apartment to solve the problems between them. However, Salman who is known to be big-hearted man has agreed to work with her. Priyanka will be doing the female lead in the film.”

Priyanka went out of her way to make sure that she is on Salman Khan’s good side, that’s where she stays. If the buzz in Bollywood is to be believed Priyanka might bag the role opposite Khan in his film Veer.

“It has taken a lot of effort from Priyanka to sort things out with Salman. He can be quite bad when you rub him the wrong way too many times. After a lot of tears and explaining she has managed to get on Salman’s good side. So when she heard that the hunt was on for an actress to play the lead opposite him she made sure that his people knew that her diary was wide open,” says an industry insider, “This was her way of just reiterating the fact that when she had turned down Mr. & Mrs. Khanna earlier it was genuinely because of dates and nothing else!”

He adds that Priyanka did speak to Salman after the two patched up. “When she agreed to do a cameo in Mr. & Mrs. Khanna (the film she previously turned down) she managed to get back into Salman’s good books. And soon thereafter news of Veer going on the floors soon also was out and Priyanka made sure that she let Sallu know that she would be more than happy to work with him.”

When Salman and Priyanka had a falling out, the actor refused to acknowledge or speak to her. Things got so bad that the two had a showdown on the sets of God Tussi Great Ho when Priyanka was believed to have kept Sallu waiting. In fact many set insiders have confirmed that Salman made it clear that he wasn’t interested in speaking to her and rarely interacted with her.

While Priyanka is filming in Miami, her business manager says it’s too early to speculate. “I can talk about those things that have been confirmed. But iske baarein mein abhi kuch bol nahee sakte,” he said.

After Priyanka finishes with Tarun Mansukhani’s Dostana, the actress doesn’t have any other movie ready and lined up.

“She has been filming non stop. First it was Love Story 2050 and Drona, and then she went on Madhur’s Fashion. Now she is in Miami filming for Dostana. So while 2008 will see plenty of her releases she is yet to take on any new film... And that’s largely because she wants to do Veer,” concludes the source.

When we quizzed Anil Sharma he said, “I haven’t signed her yet but Priyanka is family so whenever we want she will be part of our project. I am still working on the script. As of now I can say that Salman will be seen in main lead but we are yet to decide about the leading lady.”

Salman Khan has written Veer’s story. Anil Sharma’s in-house writer Shaktiman is writing its script. He further adds that Veer is a period drama set in the year 1852 to 1900. “ Veer will be Salman’s first period film, where he will be sporting a complete different look. I have told him to lose weight thus he is working on his body to get a specific look that is required for his character.”

It is also believed that Veer is going to a huge project, which will commence in July.
