Chopra dropped after film flop?

Priyanka Chopra is reportedly no longer the front-runner for a new project after the disappointing box-office performance of 7 Khoon Maaf.

The actress was said to be the favourite for director Vishal Bhardwaj's planned adaptation of the best-selling Indian novel 2 States, Mumbai Mirror reports.

However, a source told the paper: "It is now a toss-up mainly between Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, the latter having a slight edge. It might even be... Deepika Padukone or Asin, but it certainly won't be Priyanka."

Bhardwaj directed Chopra in her hit Kaminey which also starred her then-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor.
