First look: Priyanka as Mary Kom

We present you an exclusive first look of Priyanka Chopra's avatar in her much awaited biography on World Boxing champion Mary Kom.

The film began rolling towards the end of 2013 with Omung Kumar marking his debut as a director.

Chopra made several trips to Mary Kom's homeland to understand her character better and the struggles she faced.

After the initial few weeks of shooting, the future of the project remained uncertain, with Viacom studio in two minds on whether to back this project or not after initially agreeing to do so.

Amidst speculations, both Omung and Sanjay Leela Bhansali maintained that everything is on the right track.

While Priyanka got involved with promoting ‘Gunday’, Omung and his team went for a recce to a couple of locations up north.

Samir Jaura who had trained her for the first schedule, is now unavailable for her as he is now committed to train Hrithik Roshan.

With this picture doing the rounds on social networking site, Priyanka looks ready to finish this schedule before she moves on to Zoya Akhtar’s film.
