Have Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone auditioned for the role of the next Bond girl ?

Both these women seem to be unstoppable. While Deepika Padukone is busy with Vin Diesel's XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, Priyanka Chopra is basking in the success of Quantico as well as Baywatch with Dwayne Johnson.

And the latest buzz is that the both actors are the top contenders for the role of the Bond girl in the upcoming James Bond film and both have already auditioned for the role.

Revealing the news, a leading daily has quoted their sources saying:

"Deepika is finishing the final leg of xXx - she had given them bulk dates for the film. And over the past 18 months Priyanka Chopra has been shooting for Quantico, and only recently she started work on Baywatch too. Both actresses have very strong teams there who are deftly managing their work and have been pitching them to various Hollywood studios. And they have also made it clear to their respective agents that they are not interested in doing two-bit roles."

The report has further added that it's a role which an actress would love to be cast in. While there's no confirmation from any side on the same, do you think playing a Bond girl help the international careers of the actors, considering 'Bond girls' usually don't get to play meaty parts?
