If reports doing the rounds are anything to go by, then actress Priyanka Chopra will soon be blasting off into outer space with her next film project - a biopic on late Indian astronaut Kalpana Chawla. Years after news first broke of the actress being offered the titular role, recent reports state that Priyanka has finally come on board for the project that will be mounted on an international scale.
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.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is back from the US after shooting for the second season of her television show 'Quantico'. She is currently in the city to promote her Hollywood debut film 'Baywatch'.
