Priyanka Chopra in Koraput? Believe It!
Imagine waking up in Odisha, grabbing your morning tea, and casually spotting Priyanka Chopra heading to a film set. That’s exactly what happened for some lucky fans in Semiliguda, Koraput.
Priyanka, ever the gracious star, waved at the crowd outside her hotel before heading to Talamali, where the shoot is happening. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu was already on set at Deomaali Cottage, looking every bit the superstar he is.
