Priyanka Chopra has reportedly pulled out of a new film opposite Ranbir Kapoor because the role would have required her to gain at least 20 kilos.

The 26-year-old actress, who is best known for her roles in Fashion and Dostana, is unwilling to put on the extra weight for Siddharth Anand’s movie because it would affect her appearance in other projects.

A source told The Times of India: “Priyanka’s metabolism doesn’t permit her to experiment with weight. She needs to be slim in Yash Raj Film’s Pyaar Impossible and she can’t possibly jump to being fat within a few months. And not after her recent health scare.”

Chopra was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital earlier this month after suffering from a stomach infection and exhaustion.

After spending three days in hospital, Chopra returned to the set of Ashutosh Gowariker’s romantic comedy What’s Your Rashee? immediately in an attempt to avoid a scheduling clash with her other projects.
