Priyanka Chopra is set to expand her already impressive lineup with yet another major Bollywood project, shortly after her much-anticipated return to Indian cinema. Following a gap of nearly six years, she will be seen in a film directed by S. S. Rajamouli, reportedly titled Vaaranasi, alongside Mahesh Babu.
A New Biopic After Mary Kom
After her powerful performance in the biographical sports drama Mary Kom, Priyanka is now said to be part of another biopic. According to reports, she will appear in a film based on the life of renowned painter Amrita Sher-Gil. The project, tentatively titled Amri, is being helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair.
Interestingly, Priyanka may not play the lead role in the film but will portray a significant character that adds depth to the narrative. The lead role is reportedly being essayed by actress Tanya Maniktala.
A Global Vision for Amri
The film is expected to have an international appeal, with plans for a wide release across India, Hungary, and France. Given Priyanka Chopra’s global recognition, her involvement is likely to enhance the film’s visibility on a larger stage.
Shooting Already Underway
Reports suggest that Priyanka has already completed filming her portions for Amri. She recently shot for the project in Amritsar, shortly after wrapping a schedule for Vaaranasi in Hyderabad. Her role, though limited in screen time, is said to be crucial to the storyline.
First Collaboration with Mira Nair
This project marks the first collaboration between Priyanka Chopra and Mira Nair-two internationally recognized names who have successfully bridged Indian and global cinema. While details about the plot and Priyanka’s character are still under wraps, the film has already generated significant buzz.
With multiple Hollywood ventures and a strong comeback in Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra continues to solidify her position as a truly global star.
