The adorable kid had not just signed the film but also shot for her part in the film. However, on Salman Khan's insistence, Sooraj Barjatya agreed to replace Harshaali with another child artist.
Harshaali's mother, Kajal Malhotra confirmed the news. She said,
"Harshaali was a part of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Even before shooting for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Harshaali had shot for her character in PRDP. She had shot with Sooraj ji for two days. But post Bajrangi Bhaijaan both Salman and I were of the opinion that it won't make sense for Harshaali to do a small role in the film".
