Dwayne Johnson's Priyanka Chopra-starrer 'Baywatch' trailer is out and we are psyched! The new clip has a lot more of PeeCee as the evil Victoria Leeds and it is devilishly good. Currently in India for the promotions of her Hollywood debut, the 'Quantico' actress spoke about her experiences in the wild West. “The kind of films that came to me were very interesting because of 'Quantico'. You can't just arrive there and say I want to work in movies. People need to come to you with films.” She said making a mark wasn't easy as she had to constantly fight stereotypes. “There has been a stereotype not only in India but also in the West about the lack of understanding of Hindi films. When I walk down on the sets, I want them there to understand that I know my job quite well, which the Hindi film industry has taught me over the years,” she said.

“You can't be be so entitled, just because you're a star here, you should not delude yourself into believing that you'll be treated like a star in every country. So I never expect that. I am okay walking into the room and saying, 'Hi, I am Priyanka Chopra, I am an Indian actor' and introduce myself to everyone in the room. It doesn't make you small. I think the American press has been wonderfully accepting of me. I haven’t seen them being like this to a lot of Indian actors.”

'Baywatch' stars Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Kelly Rohrbach, and Alexandra Daddario in the lead and is set for a May 10 release.
