Priyanka Chopra is all set to make her comeback in Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated project Varanasi. The actress, who made a move to the US to work in Hollywood projects a few years ago, will be returning to her roots after nearly six years. She recently revealed that, for Varanasi, she had a special request for SS Rajamouli before saying yes to the film.
During an interview with Cinema Blend, Priyanka Chopra said, “So, I haven’t done an Indian film in six years. So when SS Rajamouli called me and was like, ‘This female character is really cool, and you have to be in it,’ whatever. And so I was like, ‘I have one request, can you make me dance, please? Because I haven’t danced in so long.'"
