In between shooting for 'Quantico' and Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra has managed to bag a role in the forthcoming Baywatch movie. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who's also starring and co-producing the film, confirmed the casting rumours on Instagram.
The big-screen adaption of the TV show will be Chopra's Hollywood debut. "The biggest star out of India, one of the biggest stars in the world," Johnson said in the Instagram video. "The beautiful Priyanka Chopra -- welcome to Baywatch."

The Rock also hinted at Chopra's negative role as oil tycoon Victoria Leeds in the film. "She's mean," he said. Chopra answered, "I'm really mean."
Like the popular TV show, the film will revolve around a team of good-looking Californian lifeguards. Directed by Seth Gordon, it also stars Zac Efron and Kelly Rohrbach and is slated to release in May 2017.
