That
Priyanka
Chopra
Jonas
has
been
pencilled
into
playing
Mahesh
Babu’s
love
interest
in
S
S
Rajamouli’s
jungle
adventure
is
common
knowledge.
What
is
not
known
is
that
Priyanka
was
“most
reluctant”
to
step
into
the
part
even
when
she
was
being
offered
a
huge
amount
of
money.
(This
is
how
much
she’s
being
paid!).
A
source
from
Hyderabad
tells
Subhash
K
Jha,
“Initially,
the
part
she
was
offered
was
no
bigger
than
what
Alia
Bhatt
had
in
Rajamouli’s
RRR.
Priyanka
agreed
to
do
the
film
on
the
condition
that
the
female
lead’s
role
be
amplified
to
justify
her
presence.”

Bajirao
Mastani.
This
is
not
the
only
Indian
project
Priyanka
will
be
seen
in.
Apparently,
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
with
whom
she
did
Bajirao
Mastani,
has
offered
Priyanka
a
project
she
is
likely
to
say
yes
to.
