Mumbai (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 31st July, 2018) After Bharat director Ali Abbas Zafar announced Priyanka Chopra's exit from the film and co-producer Nikhil Namit slammed her for being 'unprofessional', rumours of Katrina Kaif stepping into the shoes of former Miss World started doing the rounds.
The recent development suggests, Katrina has been finalised as the female lead.
The film's lead actor Salman Khan took to Twitter and welcomed Katrina Kaif.
"Ek sundar aur shusheel ladki jiska Naam hai Katrina Kaif .... Swagat hai aapka Bharat ki zindagi mein," Khan tweeted on Monday evening.
Salman and Katrina have shared the screen in several films, including Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai.
On Friday, Zafar had announced that Chopra decided to opt out of the highly-anticipated project for a "very very special" reason, which left many wondering if the actress was getting hitched to Nick Jonas.
"Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of @Bharat_TheFilm & and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her... Team Bharat wishes @priyankachopra loads of love & happiness for life," his tweet read.
Zafar, who has previously worked with Katrina in his directorial debut Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Tiger Zinda Hai, confirmed in a statement on Monday that he is immensely excited to collaborate with the actress, again.
"I am extremely excited to work with Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan once again for 'Bharat'. We have had exciting collaborations in the past and it is very interesting to work with the duo once again. It is very delightful to work with the immensely talented actress yet again," the director said.
