Actor Priyanka Chopra has made a much-anticipated return to music with a desi rendition of the iconic Wham! classic Last Christmas. The track is part of acclaimed filmmaker Gurinder Chadha’s upcoming family musical 'Christmas Karma', which releases in cinemas across the UK, Ireland, and the US on November 14, and in India on December 12.
Gurinder Chadha took to Instagram to share the song, expressing heartfelt gratitude to Priyanka for her support and generosity in backing a project close to her heart. She wrote: “This is @priyankachopra for you. One call to support the movie and she was in. Always ready to support filmmakers from our community. Using her platform and her voice (in this case, even the singing one) in support of my vision. Thank you for supporting me always Pri. And so here it is… our reimagined version of @georgemofficial #LastChristmas classic with all the playfulness I hope #georgemichael would have loved.”
Responding to the collaboration, Priyanka Chopra shared her perspective in an official statement: “Gurinder Chadha is a dear friend and I am so happy to support her in my little way in 'Christmas Karma'. I hope this desi twist to a song that has long been the soundtrack of Christmas for so many of us resonates with audiences.”
Priyanka first ventured into international music in 2012 with In My City featuring will.i.am, followed by Exotic with Pitbull in 2013. On the work front, Priyanka is gearing up for her next big project, SS Rajamouli’s 'Globe Trotter', co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
