Priyanka Chopra jokes about her salary on Kapil’s show

Priyanka Chopra returns to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli’s ambitious film Varanasi, marking a major cinematic moment.

The global star last appeared prominently in Indian films years ago, making this comeback highly anticipated.

Chopra has built an impressive career across Bollywood and Hollywood with projects like Quantico, Baywatch, Citadel, and Bajirao Mastani.

Varanasi marks her first Telugu film in a significant role in over a decade.

She stars opposite Mahesh Babu, creating a massive buzz across Tollywood and international film circles.

The film promises a grand adventure drama blending Hindu mythology with elements of time travel.

In the first poster, Chopra wears a striking yellow sari while holding a gun.

She portrays Mandakini, a character that appears powerful, mysterious, and central to the narrative.

Recently, Chopra appeared as the first guest on The Great Indian Kapil Show.

Kapil Sharma joked about the ₹1300 crore budget increasing because of her salary.

Chopra responded with wit, handling the moment smartly without revealing any details.

The exchange quickly went viral, earning praise for her humour and confidence.

Varanasi aims for a global release while keeping Tollywood at its core.

The film is scheduled to hit theatres during Sankranti 2027.

Fans eagerly await Chopra’s powerful return to Indian cinema
