One of many projects that Priyanka has been approached for is the Kalpana Chawla biopic. As per reports, PeeCee has already signed on the dotted lines and will even start shooting for the movie next month onwards.
“My plan is to straddle two careers: one in India and one in the U.S. I know that sounds absolutely crazy, but I’m going to make it work. I can’t and won’t let either one go, even if it kills me,” Priyanka had earlier said about her career in Bollywood and the West.
“The film will be mounted on an international scale. A new production company, Getway, is likely to produce the biopic,” a source had earlier informed a daily about the biopic.
Will Priyanka fit in Kalpana’s Shoes!
Debutante director Priya Mishra had then told a leading daily, “I have been working on it for the past seven years. A new production banner will back the project.”

Considering Priyanka’s three-month long stay in Mumbai this time, it can be safely said that the actress will be working on some Bollywood projects during her time here.
According to reports, Priyanka’s team has been actively involved in the pre-production work of the film that is being directed by debutante Priya Mishra.
The script has also reportedly been locked and a new production company will be bankrolling the film.

After taking on the role of Olympian Mary Kom, Priyanka will reportedly lock on her space suit and play the part of Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman astronaut in space. The girl who hailed from Karnal, Haryana, flew into space on the shuttle Columbia in 1997. She died on her second expedition along with six other crew members in 2003, in a space shuttle disaster. She had spent 31 days, 14 hours and 54 minutes in space.
