Priyanka Chopra to Star in ‘Baywatch’?


Quantico star Priyanka Chopra is in talks to join Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron in Baywatch, Paramount’s big-screen take on the 1990s television series about California lifeguards.Seth Gordon is directing the feature, which is paddling toward a shoot with Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach also suiting up.
Paramount’s movie centers on the leader of an elite group of lifeguards (Johnson) who is forced to team up with a young, hotshot former Olympian (Efron) to save their beloved bay.
Scheduling conflicts with the film’s shoot and Chopra’s ABC show still need to be worked out, but the actress would play the story’s villain.
Baywatch would be Chopra’s English-language feature debut. The actress had her Hollywood breakthrough by nabbing the lead in ABC’s Quantico, which follows an FBI recruit suspected of being a terrorist agent.
