Amid filming commitments for SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited 'Varanasi', global actor Priyanka Chopra is said to have completed a special appearance in filmmaker Mira Nair’s upcoming biopic 'Amri', based on the life of legendary Hungarian-Indian painter Amrita Sher-Gil.
According to a report in Mid Day, while details of Priyanka's character in the film remain confidential, industry buzz suggests the role may be brief but significant to the narrative.
A source was quoted saying, “The film aims to present the painter’s life across Hungary, India, and France. There was a specific part for which Mira had approached Priyanka last year, and she shot for it last week. The actor was in Hyderabad to finish some work on ‘Varanasi’. After that, she flew down to Amritsar and filmed for two days."
If confirmed, the project would mark the first on-screen collaboration between Priyanka Chopra and Mira Nair, two Indian-origin names with substantial global recognition.
'Amri' is reportedly a biographical drama based on the life of Amrita Sher-Gil, one of the most celebrated modern artists of the 20th century. Born to a Sikh father and Hungarian mother, Sher-Gil became known for blending European techniques with Indian subjects, creating some of the most important works in modern Indian art.
