Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been named as one of the presenters for the 98th edition of the Academy Awards, which will be held on March 15.

Priyanka, who has previously served as a presenter at the Oscars, joins a list that includes Hollywood stars such as Robert Downey Jr. and Anne Hathaway.

The 'Quantico' actress, who had also presented at the Oscars in 2016, shared the announcement on her Instagram handle.

Apart from Priyanka, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone had also presented at the Academy Awards in 2023, the year when the Indian film RRR won the Best Original Song award for Naatu Naatu.

The ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.

On the work front, Priyanka was recently seen in the action-thriller The Bluff, which is currently streaming on Prime Video.

The 43-year-old actor is also set to make a comeback to Indian cinema with S. S. Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, where she will star alongside Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and actor Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Varanasi, which will mark Priyanka’s Telugu film debut, is slated for release in 2027.
