Before her departure, Priyanka mentioned that it marked her last working day in Hyderabad for the month while collaborating on S.S. Rajamouli’s project. She also revealed her upcoming trip back to L.A. to promote her English action thriller, “The Bluff.” After the promotions, she will return to the sets of “Varanasi,” where she plays the lead role of Mandakini—a significant return to Indian cinema after a considerable break. The first-look posters showcase her in a striking yellow saree, wielding a pistol.
