Priyanka Chopra, who is currently enjoying a relaxed holiday in India will soon kick start the promotions for her Hollywood debut, 'Baywatch'. Priyanka, who made her debut in West as a hero in 'Quantico' will be seen playing a villain in 'Baywatch'.
In 'Baywatch', Priyanka essays the role of Victoria Leeds, a wealthy and ambitious club owner who doubles up as a drug dealer on the Florida Beach. Explaining Victoria's psyche PeeCee said, "She has a point to prove. She’s a woman in a man’s world. She’s not just a random woman with money, she’s self-made. This is not just drugs and money for her, it’s power. That’s the cause.”
Talking about her experience of watching the 90's 'Baywatch', Priyanka revealed, "My mom and me, it was our favourite thing to watch. I loved the theme song, I loved how everybody was backlit, running in slow motion. When I became a Hindi movie actress, I used to take inspiration and do all of my slow motion acting from Baywatch.”
PeeCee further added that 'Baywatch' is a perfect summer movie as it gives everyone a reason to smile. "There’s so much in the world that’s happening right now that’s dark and heavy, and I think people need a reason to smile. You want a break from the news for a second. Somewhere you want to believe in humanity and people and good over evil, and just laugh. Baywatch gives you all of that,” Priyanka concluded.
