“Make Me Dance”: Priyanka Chopra’s Special Request Before Signing ‘Varanasi’

Priyanka Chopra is in news these days due to her upcoming film "Varanasi." She is all set to return to Indian films after seven years. Lately, Priyanka Chopra has revealed that she had one condition before agreeing to her film with SS Rajamouli. Mahesh Babu has reacted to this condition.

In a conversation with Cinema Blend, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she requested SS Rajamouli to make her dance in Varanasi. She said, "So, I haven't done an Indian film in almost six years. So when Rajamouli called me and said, 'Do you know this female character is really cool? You have to do this,' I said, 'I have a request. Will you make me dance?'" Because I haven't danced in a long time. However, I shouldn't have asked about it, because there's dance in the film. To this, Mahesh Babu replied, "It's because of you. Because of you, I have to dance too."

Regarding the dancing in the film, Mahesh Babu said, "It's amazing. I think we've already shot a song for the film. It keeps playing in our minds. Priyanka keeps singing it all the time. The song was included in the film because she wanted to dance."

The film "Varanasi" is an action-adventure film. Director SS Rajamouli has revealed that Mahesh Babu will be seen playing the role of Lord Rama in a sequence. The film is scheduled to release in theaters in April 2027. It will star Priyanka Chopra, Mahesh Babu, and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
