Priyanka Chopra's Punjabi production goes on floors

Actress Priyanka Chopra's first Punjabi film as a producer has gone on the floors.

The actress, who stepped into the production space with Purple Pebble Pictures, tweeted: "Congratulations @PurplePebblePic on starting our first Punjabi Feature."

Meanwhile, Priyanka is busy spreading her wings in the west with the success of American TV series "Quantico" and her debut in Hollywood via "Baywatch". But she has a firm grip on her roots.

The Punjabi film is the second project in the regional zone. Earlier, she produced a Marathi film "Ventilator".

The 33-year-old actress also took to her online photo-sharing account on Instagram, sharing the details of the Punjabi film, which features Amrinder Gill and will be produced by Priyanka's mother Madhu Chopra.

The film is written and directed by Karan Guliani, who has also penned the story with Ambadeep Singh serving as screenplay and dialogue writer.

The production banner will bring out films in Bhojpuri and more in Marathi too.

Earlier this month, Anushka Sharma also announced that she will co-produce and star in romantic film "Phillauri", which will be set in Punjab.
