Looks Priyanka Chopra is set to sign her next Hindi movie on the dotted line. The former Miss World, who was last seen in Prakash Jha's Jai Gangaajal in 2016, might work with Salman Khan in his forthcoming film Bharat, to be helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar who has previously directed Khan in blockbusters such as Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.

According to sources, Zafar, who is currently busy with the pre-production work of the film, met Chopra in New York on the sets of her popular American television series Quantico to give the narration.


“Priyanka has also worked with Ali in Gunday and shares a good rapport with him. This film will see the three of them collaborate for the first time,” reveals a source.

Priyanka and Salman have worked in three films to date. Their last movie was God Tussi Great Ho in 2008. Their fans will really be excited to see them collaborate again after a huge gap of 10 years.

Bharat is expected to commence its shoot in April.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.
