Priyanka Chopra's Instagram Post On Mumbai's Film City Has A Gadar Connection

Priyanka Chopra’s Marathi film Paani is set to make its big screen debut on October 18. The actress arrived in Mumbai early Friday morning to attend the trailer launch of the highly anticipated drama. The film has been directed by Adinath Kothare and produced by Priyanka and her mother, Madhu Chopra under the banner of Purple Pebble Pictures.

Priyanka recently shared a fun moment on her Instagram Stories, capturing her arrival at Flim City, Mumbai’s famed film hub. To add a touch of drama, she chose the song Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava from the 2023 hit Gadar 2 as the soundtrack of her video. The track, which is all about longing, perfectly mirrored the emotional flavour of her return. Priyanka’s caption, featuring both a laughing and crying emoji, perfectly highlighted her cheeky sense of humour.

Paani features an ensemble cast of talented actors such as Subodh Bhave, Kishore Kadam, Addinath Kothare and Rucha Vaidya. The film tells the compelling story of an ordinary man from a drought-hit village in Nanded. As he strives to make his village self-sufficient in water, he faces numerous challenges, including local thugs, a budding romance and the everyday struggles of rural life. The film won the National Film Award for Best Film on Environment Conservation and was also screened at the New York Film Festival in the US in 2019. Paani also won Kothare the Best Actor award at the New York Indian Film Festival.

Earlier, Priyanka shared the exciting news about Paani’s release on Instagram. Sharing the film’s teaser, she wrote, “This is very very special. Our Marathi feature film Paani is all set to release theatrically on 18th October. See you in the theatres. Rajshri Entertainment and Purple Pebble Pictures Presents Paani in association with Kothare Vision Pvt Ltd.”

Meanwhile, Priyanka also attended her brother Siddharth Chopra’s wedding festivities on August 23. Dressed elegantly in a pink saree, she made a stunning appearance at the intimate event.
