Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra, who is excited to make her Bollywood comeback with Salman Khan's 'Bharat', has reportedly bagged another project. Reportedly, Priyanka and Abhishek Bachchan are likely to reunite for director Shonali Bose's next film. Moreover, the ‘Secret Superstar’ actor Zaira Wasim is in talks to play the role of couple's young girl.
