Anurag Basu took to his Twitter account to clarify that Parineeti Chopra had never signed his film. He tweeted, “Opt-out!!!?? Hehehe this is so funny When was she In!? @ParineetiChopra”. Parineeti Chopra reacted to Anurag Basu’s tweet and shared with her fans that she will announce her next movies herself. She posted, “Guys please don’t speculate on anything!! I will announce which film I am doing next myself. It is extremely disrespectful and bad PR for the makers of that film. I have not opted out of anything.”

Parineeti has wrapped up the shoot of her next, Jabariya Jodi in which she stars alongside Sidharth Malhotra. Her last release, Namaste England has tanked badly at the box office. However, Sid and Parineeti’s chemistry struck a chord with the audiences in the sleeper hit Hasee Toh Phasee.
Anurag Basu also clarified in an interview recently that he has never said that his film is a sequel to Life in a Metro. He revealed that the film has four tracks and that is the only similarity with Life in a Metro.
