Priyanka Chopra Shares Personal Moments Amid Filming for Varanasi

Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently shared a collection of personal photographs, providing her followers with a look into both her professional and private life. The actress is currently in Hyderabad filming for S. S. Rajamouli’s upcoming film, Varanasi, which also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

In a post on Instagram, Chopra shared several candid images that captured various snippets from her life. Among the pictures were moments showcasing her in a scuba diving suit, notes of her feature in a magazine, and references to films she enjoys, including classic Indian movies such as Hum Aapke Hain Koun...? and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The photos also included a nostalgic clip of the late actress Sridevi dancing to "Kaate Nahi Kat Te Ye Din" from the iconic film Mr. India.

Chopra’s post aimed to provide a slice of her everyday experiences, with one image taken at a Gurudwara, reflecting a blend of work and personal time. Her caption, “Some here… some there…” summed up the diverse moments she chose to share with her audience.

The film Varanasi presents the adventures of Rudhra, set against the backdrop of the ancient Indian city of Varanasi, which faces a threat from an incoming asteroid. The storyline spans multiple timelines and continents, making it an ambitious project. Rajamouli, known for his grand cinematic scale, has reportedly conceived Varanasi as a global adventure rooted in Indian culture, with influences drawn from classic adventure films.

Filming locations for Varanasi extend beyond Hyderabad, with scenes also shot in Odisha and Kenya. With an estimated budget between Rs. 1,000 and 1,300 crore, Varanasi is poised to become one of the most expensive films produced in India. The film is slated for theatrical release on April 7, 2027.

In addition to Varanasi, Priyanka Chopra is set to return to the Krrish franchise for Krrish 4, marking Hrithik Roshan’s debut as a director. Chopra began her acting career in 2002 with the Tamil film Thamizhan, followed by her Bollywood debut in The Hero: Love Story of a Spy in 2003. She has since starred in numerous successful films, with her standout role in the romantic thriller Aitraaz cementing her status as a leading actress in Indian cinema.
