‘Baywatch’ baddie

CEBU, Philippines - Priyanka Chopra fully embraced her inner bad girl for the upcoming “Baywatch” reboot.

While chatting with E! News during the recent Time magazine 100 Gala, where she was being honored as one of the past year’s most influential people, the “Quantico” star revealed just how she feels about her shot at playing the villain for a change.

“How many people take on ‘The Rock?’” the Indian actress said of her co-star Dwayne Johnson. “See, that’ll be a notch on my list.”

Turns out the brunette bombshell has had this challenge on her bucket list for quite a while, and come May 2017 when “Baywatch” hits theaters, she’ll officially be able to cross it off.

But as for that signature red swimsuit made famous by Pamela Anderson in the original television series? Priyanka says she won’t be sporting it.

“Not the red one because I’m the villain, but I might be in a swimsuit. Watch out for that!” the Bollywood star teased.

Additionally, Chopra offered some insight as to what we can expect from her character. “I think ‘Baywatch’ will be a summer blockbuster and I’m not just saying it because I’m in it,” she said. “I saw a bunch of scenes right now and it’s the funniest movie ever. Dwayne and Zac Efron have the best chemistry, and I come and interrupt their chemistry.” (FREEMAN)
