Priyanka Chopra is among the biggest stars in Bollywood. After conquering the Hindi film industry with her spectacular performances, the actress has also impressed the West through shows like Quantico and Citadel. Priyanka enjoys a massive fan following globally. Although she won hearts internationally, did you know that the actress didn’t start her career in Bollywood? After bagging the Miss World Pageant in 2000, she made her acting debut with Tamil film Thamizhan in 2002. Now, the Dostana actress has shared a picture on her Instagram story, celebrating 22 years of the flick.

Priyanka Chopra uploaded the unseen picture on Instagram story as her debut film, Thamizhan, completed 22 years of its release. In the throwback picture shared by the actress, she could be seen sharing the stage with Thalapathy Vijay, composer D. Imman and others. Along with the picture, she wrote, “22 years of Thamizan.”

Thamizhan was a Tamil courtroom drama directed by Majith. The film starred Thalapathy Vijay and Priyanka Chopra as the leads. Apart from them, the film also featured Nassar, Revathi, Vivek and Ashish Vidyarthi in important roles. The movie received a mixed response from the audience and the critics.

Earlier, in an interview with Vanity Fair, Priyanka talked about her debut and the struggles she faced while filming Thamizhan. She said, “I remember Thamizhan, which was really difficult for me as I did not know Tamil as a language. I was learning it phonetically, memorising it, understanding the meaning behind it, and then saying my lines.”

Despite the struggles, the actress was all praise for Thalapathy Vijay. Priyanka revealed that she loved watching the South superstar on the set and was among the first few people who had an influence on her life. She also admired his humility and appreciated his hard work.

After Thamizham, Priyanka Chopra made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with Anil Sharma’s The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, opposite Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta.

Currently, Priyanka Chopra is shooting for her upcoming Hollywood film, Head of Stone, in France. The film stars John Cena and Idris Elba in the lead roles. After Head of Stone, the Quantico actress will also be seen in The Bluff, which is directed by Frank E. Flowers.
