Priyanka plays a bodyguard skilled in an ancient Sikh martial art, wielding a sword and a kirpan in the film.

“I've apparently suffered a tear in my abs,” the actress added.

Priyanka said she was enjoying shooting for the role in the thriller, Drona, and has been announcing: “I'm armed and dangerous,” every time she arrives on the set.
Abhishek Bachchan, who plays a superhero, and Kay Kay Menon, who is the villain, co-star in the film.
Although advised rest, her busy schedule did not permit a break for the next few weeks with dance scenes and more stunts to film.
