Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra's cousin Parineeti played a supporting role in her debut film Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl last year, where she got noticed and got several awards like Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actress and Superstar of Tomorrow.
Her next film was Ishaqzaade that was released earlier this year and she earned laudable reviews.
But, right now Parineeti has no film in hand.
Parineeti has a three-film deal with Yash Raj Films. After Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl and Ishaqzaade, she has to do one more film. But so far no announcement has been made with her in the cast.
And for those films in which there was buzz about being cast have either not taken off or she finds someone else being cast.
A newspaper report quotes a source, “There was a great deal of speculation that she would be cast in Atul Sabharwal's film being produced by Aditya Chopra which is Arjun Kapoor's next project. But the makers decided to take newcomer Sasha Agha, daughter of yesteryear actress-singer Salma Agha.”
Adds the source, “There was also buzz about her being part of Abhinav Kashyap's next project with Ranbir Kapoor. But with Ranbir having walked out of it, the project is currently at a standstill.
"So is the case of Maneesh Sharma's film with Shahid Kapoor which was to be produced by Yash Raj. As the film was delayed, Shahid decided to opt out leaving the project in a limbo for the moment.”
The source said: “She was touted as the next big thing but sadly has no takers.”
