Priyanka Chopra set as Baywatch’s villain

BAYWATCH has secured its villain.

Priyanka Chopra, best known stateside as the star of ABC's QUANTICO but who has been a huge Bollywood star for a number of years, has signed on to play the evil oil tycoon that will threaten the waters and beaches that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Zac Efron look after while on duty in the big-screen adaptation of the once-popular TV series.

Chopra will be playing Victoria Leeds, and what her exact motivations are remain under wraps right now… But you know she's out to inflict a world of trouble on the environment that only the slo-mo running lifeguards of the film will be able to stop in her tracks.

BAYWATCH will be ready for May 19, 2017.
