Priyanka Chopra’s Rising International Exposure: From Quantico To Baywatch?
Entertainment Jan 13, 2016
Quantico's leading lady has recently taken the world by storm, from her amazing love-triangle performance in Bajirao Mastani to landing the leading role on ABC's newest crime TV show Quantico.
Priyanka Chopra will not be leaving the spotlight anytime soon. Bollywood's most famed diva already has her next project in early talks and it's rumoured to be alongside Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron in a modern-day Baywatch movie.
Look-out Pamela Anderson! The 1990-hit television series is looking to make a comeback, but this time on the big screen and with PC added to the casting line-up.
Director Seth Gordon and Paramount Pictures are looking to bring back our favourite memories of envious beach-body lifeguards, remaking the classic TV drama into a big-screen movie. This remake comes 15 years after Baywatch's final episode aired.
2016 is already proving to be a promising year for the 33-year-old actress. It was just last week that Chopra shocked her fans by winning the Favourite Actress People's Choice Award for her starring role in Quantico.
Although she's already had some international exposure, this will be Chopra's first Hollywood movie debut. We're loving her rising global fame, but we hope our favourite heroine doesn't lose her classic Bollywood charm.
The production company is still working out the scheduling conflicts with her Quantico filming, but she is said to play the villain in the storyline. Filming for the movie is expected to begin in April 2016 and PC's manager, Anjula Acharia-Bath, has confirmed the reports via her Twitter.

We're definitely excited to see what the trio will bring to the silver screen. In the meantime, you can catch a glimpse of Chopra on the cover of Elle's upcoming February issue, which will be hitting shelves next month!
