She's
played
glamorous
roles
and
a
girl-next-door
in
several
of
her
past
films.
But
Priyanka
Chopra,
who
will
be
seen
playing
boxing
champion
M.C.
Mary
Kom
in
a
biopic,
says
essaying
an
athlete
in
a
film
was
almost
unthinkable
for
her.
Mary
Kom
has
thus,
taught
Priyanka
a
valuable
lesson.
"I
never
thought
I
will
play
an
athlete
or
I
can
become
an
athlete.
I
didn't
know
anything
about
sports.
Besides,
who
would
have
thought
that
a
girl
can
develop
muscles
and
biceps,
but
that
happened
with
me," said
Priyanka
Chopra.
"I
learnt
that
if
you
are
adamant
to
achieve
something,
anything
can
happen
and
you
can
do
anything.
This
was
a
very
inspiring
thing
for
me,"
added
the
Mary
Kom
actress.
Priyanka
Chopra's
Mary
Kom
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
Omung
Kumar
and
it
wil
hit
theatres
on
September
5.
