Taking to Instagram Story, Priyanka shared a throwback picture with Mannara and wrote, "Throwback to little @memannara Good Luck little one," followed by a red heart, folded hands, and flexed biceps emoji.

She starred in the Telugu film Rouge (2017) directed by Puri Jagannadh, Anubhav Sinha's Zid (2014), Prema Geema Jantha Nai (2014), Jakkanna (2016), Thikka (2016) and Sita (2019).
