    Just before Priyanka Chopra, who celebrates her birthday on July 18, left Mumbai to pursue a career in the West, she starred in one final Bollywood film — Prakash Jha’s Jai GangaaJal. In it, Priyanka played a gritty, no-nonsense cop battling corruption in a small town in Bihar. Interestingly, the role was originally written for a male actor, making Priyanka the unequivocal hero of the film. However, with her Hollywood commitments looming, Priyanka had to leave Mumbai, and Jha was left to promote the film largely on his own.

    “I wanted Priyanka Chopra & Katrina Kaif together in Raajneeti,” reveals Prakash Jha

    Looking back, the filmmaker harbours no ill feelings. “She had other commitments. Priyanka had told me well in advance that her dates were locked for the shoot of a series abroad… She did try to address the media whenever she could by joining online!” Jha recalls.

    In fact, Jha had hoped to collaborate with Priyanka again. “I had offered her the lead in Raajneeti with Ranbir Kapoor. For reasons best known to her, she decided not to do it, although I was very keen that she come on board. That’s when Katrina Kaif stepped in. I actually wanted to cast both Katrina and Priyanka together. But Priyanka had other plans.”

    Despite the missed opportunity, Jha has nothing but admiration for the global star. “Today I am so, so happy to see how far she has come — much further than any of us could have imagined. It’s astonishing to see her being such a wonderful wife, a great mother, and a globally celebrated actress. Hats off!”

    Would he work with Priyanka again? “I’d love to. But the question is — would she?”
