Priyanka Chopra Lands in Mumbai Confirms Kapil Show

New Delhi, December 10, 2025: Global superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas has officially landed in Mumbai, sending a wave of excitement across the country. But it was her playful and direct message to comedian Kapil Sharma that grabbed the headlines, all but confirming her appearance on the upcoming season of his popular Netflix show.

The actress took to her Instagram Story upon her arrival, sharing a relaxed in-flight selfie and tagging Kapil Sharma with a playful warning that read: “@kapilsharma you better be ready. #Mumbai @thegreatindiankapilshow.“

This post served as an instant, light-hearted confirmation that the “Desi Girl” will be a high-profile guest on the highly anticipated Season 4 of The Great Indian Kapil Show. She followed up the tease with another video from her car ride, capturing the city’s vibe and simply captioning it, “Mumbai meri Jaan” (Mumbai, my life), expressing her obvious delight at being back in the maximum city.

A Star-Studded Return for a Mega Project

While the prospect of her witty banter with Kapil Sharma’s crew is thrilling for fans, Priyanka’s trip to India is primarily for a significant professional commitment. She is here for the shoot and promotions of her grand return to Indian cinema: SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated Telugu venture, Varanasi.

The film, which also stars Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu and the versatile Prithviraj Sukumaran, is scheduled for a grand release in March 2027. Early reports and teasers suggest the film will be a visually spectacular action-adventure rooted in mythology and time travel, marking a powerful collaboration between some of the biggest names in Indian cinema.

Priyanka is set to play the role of Mandakini in the movie, a project that is already generating immense international buzz. Her appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show is likely tied into the initial promotional activities for this massive film, giving Indian audiences an early taste of what’s to come.

Reflecting on a Global Journey

Priyanka’s return to the Indian media spotlight comes shortly after her insightful conversation at the BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi. During the event, she reflected candidly on the sacrifices she made during her early career, admitting she was “greedy” for work in her 20s.

She spoke about missing significant family milestones, including holidays and time when her late father was in the hospital, all for the sake of establishing her career. “That time, I needed to work that hard,” she shared, adding that those sacrifices allowed her to have the life she enjoys now, where she can finally be more selective with her projects.

This trip to Mumbai, which combines work on a major Indian film with an appearance on a fan-favorite comedy show, perfectly encapsulates the global and diverse career she has successfully built.

Fans are now eagerly counting down the days until the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show premieres, waiting to see if Kapil Sharma truly heeded her warning to be “ready” for the global powerhouse, Priyanka Chopra.
