There is something about Baywatch. With its buffed beach bodies running through golden beaches, the television series proved to be a cult classic. Now, the trailer to its movie version is out, and Priyanka Chopra is in it.
The movie version has Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson take on the role of the lead of a team of lifeguards, played in the series by David 'The Hoff' Hasselhoff. He is joined by a cast that includes Alexandra Daddario and a seriously buff looking Zac Efron. For Indian fans though, there is the added attraction of our own Priyanka Chopra making an appearance.
The trailer is packed with the typical scenes of muscle rippling action with Johnson and Efron hogging the screen. Their bromance, garnished with some good ripostes and wit, makes for a good watch. Daddario has little to do in a very adrenalin fuelled trailer. But it is the end of it that makes our Indian hearts go va va voom.

For a split second, Priyanka Chopra, who plays the villain, Victoria Leeds, makes a fleeting appearance in the trailer. Oozing attitude and glamour, the actress marches through the screen in supreme confidence, shored up with a glass of wine. Classy, we say.
This is the first of many trailers, and the others to follow are likely focus on the rest of the cast. Something for us to wait for. #Wait4VictoriaLeeds already trending on Twitter.
Baywatch releases in the US on 26 May 2017.
