Paakhi A Tyrewala directorial Pahuna: The Little Visitors' plot revolves around three Nepalese children who depend on each other for survival after getting separated from their parents while entering India. The film will be released in Sikkimese language.
Priyanka was caught in the midst of a controversy in 2017 when Pahuna: The Little Visitors had premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Speaking about her film in an interview with News X, Priyanka referred to Sikkim as an Indian state which is "troubled with insurgency".
"This is a Sikkimese film. Sikkim is a small state in the north east of India which never had a film industry or any one who made films from there and this is the first film ever that has come out of that region because it is very troubled with insurgency and like troubled in situations....." she had said in the interview.
Following the backlash, the 36-year old global actress also had apologised to Sikkim's Tourism Minister Ugen T Gyatso.
