Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra who is making waves
internationally with her American television series ‘Quantico’ is all set to
take Hollywood by storm. The actress has been reportedly approached to star in ‘Baywatch’
movie, according to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’.
The former Miss World is in talks to join
actor-producer Dwayne
Johnson and Zac Efron in the big screen adaptation of the 1990s popular
series ‘Baywatch’. The hit series on NBC network was based on
the adventures of a team of California lifeguards on a crowded beach.
Although Priyanka is still in talks with Paramount Pictures
for the movie, if she signs the project, it will mark her Hollywood debut. She
will play the antagonist if the actress does the movie.
The movie will be directed by Seth Gordon known for his
films like ‘Horrible Bosses’ and ‘Freakonomics’. Actor Alexandra Daddario will
play the character of Summer which was played by Nicole Eggert in the teleseries,
while model-turned-actor Kelly Rohrbach has been signed on to play Pamela
Anderson’s iconic character of C J Parker.
The movie's plot revolves around a lifeguard, played by Dwayne
Johnson who teams up with a hotshot former Olympian, played by Zac Efron in an
attempt to save his bay. The film will follow the comedy route and is expected
to begin rolling in the next few months. It is slated to release sometime in
2017.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is riding high on her success. The
33-year-old actress recently bagged the People's Choice Award for Best Actress
in a New TV series for her maiden American show ‘Quantico’. Her latest
Bollywood outing ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is also doing extremely well at the box
office. She will be next seen in the role of an IPS officer in Prakash Jha’s sequel
film ‘Jai Gangaajal’ slated to hit screens on March 4.
