Actor Amit Sadh wonders why the news about his exit from Amole Gupte's "Hawaa Hawaai" has been blown out of proportion. He says he didn't walk out of the movie due to monetary issues.

"I don't know why the issue has become so big. I think I attract controversy and this news was blown out of proportion. I have never left any film for money and I can never do that," Amit told IANS.

Amit was offered "Hawaa Hawaai" first, but now "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" fame actor Saqib Saleem will play the lead.

"I met Amole sir and we had a chat about the film, but we could not take any decision in time and the film has gone to someone who is equally deserving. I hope I get to work with Amole sir in future," added the "Kai Po Che" actor.

No small part in big Hollywood film for Priyanka

Priyanka Chopra has made inroads into the international entertainment scene with her songs and a voiceover in animated film "Planes", but the multi-faceted actress is not ready to take on a "small" role in a "big" Hollywood film.

"If something interesting (from Hollywood) comes along (I may take it up). I am not someone who will just sit and say, 'I want to do a Hollywood film just because films come my way'. I don't want to do a small part in a big film just because it is a Hollywood film," Priyanka told IANS.

The significance of the role in a film matters to her.

"I am happy with my career in terms of my music and my films. But if something excites me, why not...but it (Hollywood films) is not something I am actively pursuing," said the star of films like "Dostana" and "Barfi!".

Priyanka has so far launched two international singles - "In my city" and "Exotic". She was also recently named the face of fashion brand Guess.
