Parineeti Chopra gives up Akshaylm for Sushant Singh Rajput

Parineeti was very keen to sign for the Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster 'Thuppakki', directed by A. Murugadoss. She was offered the film by producer Vipul Shah on behalf of director.
Apparently, the Hindi version's lead actor Akshay Kumar was also interested in getting her on board for the project, but Yash Raj Films wouldn't release Parineeti to do the project, as she is bound by contract.
