Months after Priyanka Chopra exited Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat, starring Salman Khan in the lead, in the eleventh hour, rumour mills are abuzz that Salman might still be miffed with Priyanka.

According to a report in Mid-day, Salman has "apparently expressed reservations" about Priyanka starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next. For the uninitiated, Salman has reunited with Bhansali after over two decades. The duo, who last collaborated in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, has joined hands for another love story. The film will reportedly go on floors in September this year after Salman wraps up the third instalment Arbaaz Khan's Dabangg franchise.

Meanwhile, Priyanka, during her recent appearance on Karan Johar's popular chat show, Koffee With Karan, had revealed that she's in talks with Bhansali and Vishal Bhardwaj for a film. While it isn't sure if Priyanka was hinting at the Salman Khan-starrer but the rumour mills are abuzz that the superstars are talking about the same film.

Salman had earlier put the rumours at rest when he was amongst the first guests to have arrived at Priyanka and Nick Jonas' Mumbai reception. But with the buzz surrounding the Bhansali directorial, it remains to be seen how things unfold for the actors.

On the film front, Salman will next be seen in Bharat alongside Katrina Kaif and Tabu. While Priyanka, who was last seen in Isn't It Romantic, is busy with the shoot of Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink, co-starring Farhan Akhtar, Zaira Wasim and Rohit Saraf in significant roles.
