Addressing rumours about her possible return to popular franchises, Priyanka chose to remain tight-lipped. When asked about the speculation, she said, “I don't know if I can talk about either of them at all.” Her response drew a playful reaction from her Varanasi co-star Mahesh Babu, who quipped, “Then there's something happening.”

Priyanka went on to speak about her current project, calling it a special homecoming after several years. She said, “Exciting, exciting times ahead, and yes, this (Varanasi) is the first one that I am doing after, like, almost six years in India, and just coming back. My favourite part, was getting to dance again. I haven't done that in any of my Hollywood productions. I was really excited to be able to do that.”

The 43-year-old actress also opened up on her experiences working in both India and the West and pointed out the stark differences in filmmaking cultures. Explaining how she adapts to both worlds, Priyanka said, “The culture of filmmaking is very different in Hollywood versus how we work in India, and you have to pivot your brain. So I can divide my brain into two. I don't think there is a world in which you bring lessons from there, here, or vice versa. I think you have to, like, immerse yourself into."
On the work front, Priyanka will also be seen in the Hollywood film The Bluff. It is all set to hit the big screens on February 25, 2026.
She last starred in the 2019 Bollywood film The Sky Is Pink with Farhan.
