Cinema VinesActor Priyanka Chopra landed in India on Sunday afternoon, arriving with her husband, singer Nick Jonas, and their daughter, Malti Marie. The family is currently based in Hyderabad, prompting fans to speculate whether Chopra has returned to the country to resume shooting for SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi.
On Monday, Chopra posted a sweet snapshot on Instagram that offered a glimpse into Malti’s day in the city. The picture shows the little girl perched on a couch, absorbed in a television screen. Instead of cartoons, she was watching her mother perform on screen, as the hit track “Tune Maari Entriyaan” from the 2014 film Gunday played. The post, captioned “Who would have thought” with a crying face and a red heart emoji, also tagged Nick Jonas, hinting that the couple were all watching together.
In a second photo, Chopra shared a tender moment between Malti and her grandmother, Madhu Chopra. The grandmother‑granddaughter pair were seen strolling together on a terrace, enjoying some quality time.
Fans flooded the post with comments. One wrote, “She must be absolutely amazed and proud.” Another simply said, “Malti is vibing.” A third added, “So cute,” while another posted, “Wow, it’s so beautiful.” One fan even requested, “Please do Malti’s reaction while watching you.”
For context, Gunday is a 2014 action drama directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, starring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Chopra herself. The film follows two orphaned friends who rise from coal smugglers to powerful figures in Kolkata, only to test their bond with love and rivalry. The song “Tune Maari Entriyaan” was sung by Bappi Lahiri, KK, Neeti Mohan and Vishal Dadlani, composed by Sohail Sen and written by Irshad Kamil, and it became a chart‑buster.
Chopra’s next project is the action‑adventure Varanasi, a collaboration with director SS Rajamouli that also incorporates time‑travel elements. The film, with a budget of ₹1,000 crore, stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. Chopra portrays Mandakini, and the first‑look poster shows her fighting goons with guns while wearing a saree. The project marks her return to Indian cinema after an eight‑year hiatus, and fans are eager to see her on‑screen chemistry with Mahesh Babu. Production is underway, and the film is slated for a theatrical release in April 2027.
