Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli has unveiled the first look of global icon Priyanka Chopra<\/a> from his upcoming magnum opus Varanasi, introducing her in and as her character, Mandakini from the movie. <\/p>\n

Grace meets fire: S. S. Rajamouli introduces Priyanka Chopra’s dual avatars in Varanasi<\/h2>\n

Taking to his social media account on Saturday morning, Rajamouli shared two striking pictures of Priyanka, accompanied by the caption, “Grace when she smiles. Fire when she doesn’t. Mandakini… @PriyankaChopra in #Varanasi.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The first still presents Priyanka in an intense avatar. Dressed in a black corset-style outfit with her hair tied in a high, tousled bun, she sports a fierce expression. Set against a warm, amber-lit backdrop, the image hints at the powerful side of Mandakini’s character.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the second photograph captures Priyanka in a carefree and happy mood. Wearing a white crop top paired with black cargo pants and a beige jacket draped over her shoulders, the actress is seen jumping mid-air with her arms spread wide. The actress’ smile reflects on the “grace” of her character which Rajamouli referred to in his caption.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, Varanasi marks Priyanka Chopra’s first collaboration with S.S. Rajamouli and also stars Mahesh Babu in the lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
