I don't think it was, they sold it to Netflix and released it on DVD/Blu-ray.
Picard film in development

Proof? Because they shopped it and sold it they can't take the loss.
If you think I'm the type of fan who enjoys going around saying 'Cancelled! Yay!", you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm perfectly fine with both SNW and SFA going for at least five seasons. I'd rather have them than nothing at all. But their futures are not up to me.

And they continued to sell merchandise and release new merchandise even after Paramount+ cancelled it but before Netflix picked it up. Which they wouldn't have been able to do if it was a tax write-off. Were that the case, they would not be allowed to release new merchandise and any unsold merchandise already out there would have to be recalled, otherwise the tax write-off would have become null and void.
They're not doing it.
I strongly suspect they never were. Sir Patrick’s description just sounded like Picard, and so far as I remember he only stated it the once.
Does the Titan bridge set even still exist?
Nothing was ever said, it's possible parts were shipped to Canada after the show wrapped, but it's also possible it was destroyed.
Could even be in the hands of a wealthy private collector, as the Kelvin Universe Enterprise bridge is rumoured to be.
I'm pretty sure all the sets from Picard were scrapped when they finished filming with the exception of the rebuilt Enterprise D bridge, which I think is in storage.
Several cast members took their leather jackets home (Paramount had to send staff members to the performers' homes to retrieve them).
That's tacky of them.
I'm really only interested if Captain Seven features significantly in it.
Considering how dark and bland I found the Titan sets to be, nothing of value was really lost in their scrapping. Out of all the live-action Trek to come out in recent years, the only one with genuinely great production design has been Strange New Worlds. Everything else has felt incredibly generic.
With Picard, the sets were generic… just with LCARS slapped on. Strange New Worlds has a genuine design style. Yes, it’s retro ’60s, but at least it’s a style that actually feels like Star Trek. Nearly everything else looks like a rip-off of Mass Effect.
