NEW DELHI: Priyanka Chopra has a “very very special” reason for backing out of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Bharat.

While the Baywatch actor has kept mum about her relationship with Jumanji actor Nick Jonas but the word continues to spread, with Dwayne Johnson indirectly confirming their relationship status, taking credit for making it happen.

However, Bharat director Ali Abbas Zafar has decided to fuel up the rumour mill once again with his announcement on Priyanka’s departure from Bharat.

The tweet reads, “Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of Bharat 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 Priyanka loads of love & happiness for life.”

“In the Nick of time” has sent fans into a spiral, wondering if this is a hint towards Priyanka and Nick getting engaged.
