"It's Dwayne and Zac together. Just picture them together. Isn't that just funny looking at them together? The film is just really funny. That in itself is fun, now imagine that in slow motion. It's a great great movie. It doesn't take itself seriously. It's a comedy and I play the bombshell of a villain in the movie," the Quantico star said. Priyanka is confident the movie will be a blockbuster.

"I'm very excited about the movie because I was a big fan of the show. I think Baywatch as a show is much more popular around the world.
