If gossip mills are to be believed, Priyanka Chopra was supposed to release the online promos of Zid starring her cousin, Mannara (earlier known as Barbie Handa) on October 27. However, she postponed it by a couple of days over certain differences.

A source says, “The original plan was that Priyanka would post the promo’s link on her microblogging site on Monday but she did it only three days later as she had not approved of it. But later, Mannara spoke to her and convinced her to promote the film, which is an erotic thriller.” A source close to Priyanka says, “She has been promoting Mannara more than any of her other cousins (Parineeti Chopra, Meerra Chopra) as they are quite close to each other. Priyanka had even posted the first poster of Zid. On her part, Mannara prefers to consult her off and on.”

Priyanka remained unavailable for comment.
