Mumbai: Director Prakash Jha said that Priyanka would not have the time for it since she was doing Bajirao Mastani and Quantico, and might even go to the moon for a new movie.

Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Jai Gangaajal’ is a sequel to director Prakash Jha’s 2003 movie ‘Gangaajal’. This sequel is coming for a grand release after 13 long years. The Original version featured Ajaya Devgn as a cop. It was one of the biggest success in Bollywood.

Director Prakash Jha has crafted the sequel as a female-centric one and Ajay Devgn was replaced with Priyanka Chopra. Most of the movie were shot at Madhya Pradesh. The actress already got more praises and the recently released trailer proved her mettle.

Now Director Prakash Jha said, “I was talking with Priyanka for several years and we were waiting for the right time.  I told Priyanka that she would not have the time for it since she was doing Bajirao Mastani and Quantico, and might even go to the moon for a new movie.

I narrated the script for just 15 minutes and she said she will be taking a role of Abha Mathur and she said no one else can do justice to that role. She offered 30 days midst her tight schedule.”
