Priyanka Chopra offers prayers at Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai
Mumbai, August 10
Actor Priyanka Chopra visited the iconic Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai and offered prayers, seeking the blessings of Lord Ganesh.
Visuals from inside the temple showed the actor participating in the prayers and taking blessings.
Priyanka, who is currently in Mumbai, was seen at the temple in a traditional avatar, dressed in a light pink suit as she paid her respects.
Earlier this month, Priyanka Chopra along with her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti Marie was seen in Hyderabad.
The actor is currently working on SS Rajamouli's upcoming film 'Varanasi', in which she will play Mandakini. The film stars Mahesh Babu in the lead role, with Prithviraj Sukumaran also part of the cast.
'Varanasi' features music by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani. The film is described as an ambitious project spanning multiple timelines and continents, with its production entering its final phase.
On the birthday of Mahesh Babu, the makers recently gave fans a new glimpse of the rugged character at the centre of one of the most anticipated action-adventure.
The still was shared on the film's official Instagram handle, with the caption: "Another trip around the Sun... before we travel across time. Happy Birthday Rudhra."
The newly released images feature Mahesh Babu in a rugged avatar, sporting a beard and casual outdoor gear.
One of the visuals places Rudhra amid the African wilderness, with zebras and giraffes visible in the background. Another shows the actor relaxing on a bamboo raft or cot surrounded by dense greenery.
'Varanasi' is scheduled to release worldwide on April 7, 2027.

Good to see her visiting Mumbai and the temple. But honestly, I hope she balances her international projects with Bollywood. SS Rajamouli's film with Mahesh Babu sounds huge though! The Africa visuals with the zebras have got me curious. 2027 release? That's a long wait.
Priyanka is truly a global icon, but she never forgets her Indianness. Visiting Siddhivinayak temple before starting a major venture is such a cultural thing we all do! The whole family was in Hyderabad recently, and now she's back in Mumbai for work. Full dedication! Also, that 'Varanasi' film with Rajamouli is going to be epic, just look at the scale described!
It's nice to see the cultural blend here. Even after being a massive star in Hollywood, she takes time to visit a temple in Mumbai before shooting a big film. It shows a lot about her grounding. The Rajamouli project really does look ambitious with those glimpses of Africa. All the best to the team.
This is what I like! Stars like Priyanka Chopra are not just about glamour; they respect our traditions and culture. Praying at Siddhivinayak before a massive project like this is the right way to go. And let's be honest, Rajamouli + Priyanka + Mahesh Babu is a combo we never knew we needed! 🚀 2027 can't come soon enough.
Beautiful to see her devotion. The pink suit is so elegant! However, I do wish the media would also focus on her interesting role in 'Varanasi' and not just on her outfit and temple visit. That film is a multi-continent saga, and we need more news about the storyline and the scale than just the visuals. But yes, good luck to her and the entire team. 🍀
