Priyanka
Chopra is currently in India to shoot SS Rajamouli's upcoming tentpole, Varanasi, alongside Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Despite the filming keeping her busy, she gave a sneak peek into her India trip with a striking photo dump on Instagram. While the slew of images showed random moments from her days in the country, three clicks stood out, which were more like a shoutout to Bollywood's most loved classics. During her visit to her home country, PeeCee seems to have stolen some time out to catch on Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Mr India, proving her adulation for its lead actresses, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and late Sridevi, respectively.
Priyanka Chopra's photo dump is random, yet special
On April 18,
Priyanka Chopra posted several photos with the caption, "Some here .. some there" on Instagram. The album included the actress tied to a harness, possibly from an action sequence in Varanasi. In one pic, she's holding a bunch of Jasmine or Mogra flowers, again a hint that her character might be seen wearing a gajra. From praying at a gurudwara to spending time with her BFF Tamanna Dutt, her photo dump showed different moods. The screenshots from the aforementioned three movies, however, grabbed attention in her album, and we totally get her love for the three divas, just like any other cinephile.
Story of Priyanka's life
In one photo, she also shared a quote that completely resonated with her own life. It read, "To the woman who moved to a new country, learned a new system, built a new life with no village, no safety net, no guarantee it would work. And did it anyway. With a smile on the outside and terror on the inside. That took everything. Don't let anyone minimise that."
About Varanasi
Meanwhile, Varanasi is said to follow the journey of Rudhra as the sacred city faces a looming cosmic threat. The narrative stretches across timelines and continents, blending mythology with high-stakes action. The poster of Priyanka from Varanasi already received a thumping reaction from fans.
With music by MM Keeravani and cutting-edge visual effects, the film promises a visually immersive experience. It is slated for a theatrical release on April 7, 2027, coinciding with Ugadi. Even before its release, Varanasi has generated significant global attention. A special glimpse of the film was showcased at the Trailer Festival at Le Grand Rex in Paris, where it received an overwhelming response.
