Bollywood celebrities like Sunny Leone, Madhur Bhandarkar and Mika Singh have congratulated Priyanka Chopra over her Hollywood debut film "Baywatch" and say that they "can't wait" to watch the actress in the film.

Priyanka, who will star alongside Hollywood actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron in "Baywatch", will be seen playing the villain in the movie, which is based on the hugely popular 1990s TV series of the same name.

Priyanka will begin shooting for the film next week.
