After Anil Kapoor and Nimrat Kaur, another Bollywood export is all set to feature in an American thriller in the form of Priyanka Chopra on ABC Network’s Quantico. The network picked up the drama series for its fall line-up this year.

Produced by Mark Gordon, the show is about a group of recruits training at the FBI Quantico Base. One of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11. Chopra, who plays Alex Parrish in the show, is framed for the terror attack and rest of the show is Parrish trying to clear her name.

On Tuesday, Chopra introduced her followers on micro-blogging site Twitter to her latest role with a tweet that had the trailer link . The show is slated for a September premiere according to media reports and will be aired on Tuesdays.

Chopra is not new to working in the US since she has already cut a couple of singles with the likes of Pitbull (music producer and singer). Before her, Anil Kapoor played the role of Omar Hassan, an Islamic leader who is the target of an assassination plot by Russian parties. The season aired in 2010 and Kapoor has since then been seen in the Indian adaptation of the series as well.

More recently, Nimrat Kaur of the Lunchbox fame, was seen in season four of Showtime’s Homeland as Tasneem Qureshi, an ISI Agent.
