June 4, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has been rather successful transitioning into Hollywood. Although Baywatch didn’t light the box office on fire or receive favorable reviews, no fault can be thrown her way; if anything, she has only gotten more ambitious as he is now seeking the role of Batgirl in the DC Extended Universe.

Speaking to OK Magazine, the actress spoke of her dream role stating that: “My dream part is, now that I’m working in America, I definitely want to do a superhero part. When I think of American movies, they’ve had superheroes for eons right? So I definitely want to play a superhero and I want to have an interesting superpower. I don’t know… Batgirl would be so cool!”
