On the professional front, Priya has a Bollywood film titled, Sridevi Bungalow, which is reportedly loosely based on the late legendary actress, Sridevi, who had an unfortunate death in Dubai. The trailer of the film has an actress drowning in a bathtub. The film got tangled into many controversies due to its title. Arbaaz Khan is also a part of the film.
When asked him about the controversy surrounding the film, he told mid-day, "Almost 80 percent of the film was shot when they approached me for a special appearance. Although I loved my role, I had reservations regarding the film considering [it was mired in] controversies. I voiced my concern to them as I didn't want to be associated with a project that may take undue advantage of something so unfortunate. But they guaranteed me that they weren't doing anything wrong. They even told me that they had registered the title before the demise of Sridevi. The makers sent me press clippings and interviews of the cast where they had clarified their stand."
Coming back to Vijay Deverakonda, his film, Arjun Reddy was remade in Hindi as Kabir Singh. The movie featured Shahid Kapoor in the lead role, and this film created wonders at the box office by emerging as the highest box office grosser of 2019. Vijay also had another film, named Dear Comrade released recently, and the makers of the film flew down to Mumbai to show it to Karan Johar. The Bollywood filmmaker loved the film to such an extent that he decided to acquire the Hindi remake rights of this film.
As soon as Johar made this announcement, there were rumours that he is casting Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in the lead roles. Later, through a social media post, Karan quashed this rumour and wished luck to the team of Dear Comrade.
