Actress Prachi Tehlan is excited to don Priyanka Chopra's look from her 2014 film "Mary Kom", based on the boxing icon Mary Kom.
In the Star Plus show "Ikyawann", a boxing match between Susheel (Prachi) and Satya (Namish Taneja) will be shown. The boxing sequence is inspired by "Mary Kom".
For the sequence, the actress will dress up like Priyanka, who played the real life boxing legend in the film.
"Priyanka inspires me. I have a lot of respect and admiration for her. I have always been her fan and to be able to play her character on the show, is the best point in my acting career so far," Prachi said in a statement.
In the show, Prachi plays a tomboy who has been raised by four men in her family; her father, grandfather and two uncles.
