Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra made waves in the West when she signed on to do 'Quantico', a television series on ABC. While she was still shooting for 'Quantico', Priyanka also signed her Hollywood debut film 'Baywatch', and is now reportedly given her nod for other two Hollywood projects - 'A Kid Like Jake' and 'Isn't It Romantic?'.

While 'Baywatch' will release in India on May 2, the film has already received a positive response from the West. And now, producer Beau Flynn informed a leading Hollywood magazine that a sequel to the film will soon be in the making. He informed that they have got the screenwriters of 'Baywatch' back on board and the cast that comprises of Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach and Priyanka Chopra will also be a part of the sequel.

Talking on the red carpet of New York screening of 'Baywatch', Beau Flynn revealed, "We have an amazing story already." He further added, "‘We’re bringing back (Damian) Shannon and (Mark) Swift who wrote on the first one and I know Dwayne would be in, I know Zac and all the girls would be in."

Kelly and Alexandra confirmed the same, and said, "I couldn’t have asked for a better cast on my first film. These guys are awesome. They’re hilarious, they’re loving, they’re generous. We really were a family and I think that comes through on the screen, as well."

Adding more to it, Alexandra quipped, "I would love to. I think it’s very cool to be part of a franchise, and I think it helps get other work. It’s fun. You get to travel the world and work with these amazing people, and you get to make people laugh, so I’m completely down for it."

Elaborating on where they plan to shoot the sequel, Beau said, "We just have this really cool idea to put them on this whole new world. We would take it overseas and maybe Rio as part of the story, we’ll have to see."

However, Hollywood films are known not to repeat its villains, so we wonder if Priyanka too will be a part of the sequel.
