Priyanka Chopra has her eyes set on yet another Hollywood project already.

The diva, who starred in the recently-released Baywatch alongside Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, wherein she plays antagonist Victoria Leeds, is reportedly in talks to join Oscar-winning Octavia Spencer, Claire Danes, and Jim Parsons in an upcoming drama A Kid Like Jake.

Based on a play, the film is centred around Jake, the bright and precocious four-year-old son of Alex (Danes) and Greg Wheeler (Parsons). Both parents have high hopes for their son, who happens to prefer Cinderella to GI Joe.

The Bajirao Mastani actress is rumoured to join the cast as Amal – the couple’s friend and a newly-single mum – who attempts to balance the school system as well as her own dating life.

We know you'll rock the role as you have done countless times in the past.
