First still: Priyanka Chopra as Mary Kom

Its out!! The exclusive first still of Priyanka Chopra‘s new avatar in her biopic of World Boxing Champion Mary Kom. The shoot of the film started rolling by the end of 2013 marking Omung Kumar’s directorial debut. PeeCee had even made many trips to Mary’s hometown to understand her better and portray her in a realistic manner.

As per sources, after a few weeks of shoot the future of the movie was quite uncertain, as Viacom studio was in two minds. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali always maintained that the movie was on track. Later came a news of PeeCee’s trainer Samir Juara too opting out. But looking at Priyanka Chopra’s picture that is making rounds in social networking site seems like Mary Kom is one the verge of completion soon.

PeeCee is to work on Zoya Akhtar’s next ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ after ‘Mary Kom’.
