Priyanka Chopra set to play a mother in next?

Priyanka Chopra is paving her way back to the Indian film industry, with a number of exciting projects in the pipeline.

The actress, who has recently wrapped up the shoot of ‘Quantico – Season 3’, will soon begin work on Salman Khan’s ‘Bharat’. As well as this, rumours are rife that she has bagged Shonali Bose’s next film, in which she could be playing a mother to a specially-abled teenage daughter, according to The Asian Age.

A source told the publication, “Priyanka has seen Shonali Bose’s earlier work Margarita With A Straw, which focussed on the life and dreams of a specially-abled lesbian woman. Also, playing a mother to a growing daughter is no big deal for the actress. She played a single mother to a young child in Karan Johar’s Dostana and YRF’s Pyaar Impossible.”

There are rumours of ‘Dangal’ star Zaira Wasim playing Chopra’s daughter. The source said, “Zaira is a good choice. But may not be as convincing as Priyanka’s daughter.”
