Mirror had earlier reported (January 7) that the first regional production to roll out of Priyanka Chopra’s home banner would be the Sikkimese-Nepali film, Pahuna.

While PeeCee and her co-producer mum Madhu Chopra have reportedly roped in local talent for the film, which revolves around two young children who get separated from their parents at the time of unrest on the Indian border, we have now learnt that ace footballer Bhaichung Bhutia has made a cameo appearance too.

A source associated with the project informs, “Bhaichung wanted to act in the film so a character of a footballer playing with kids was incorporated into the story. He shot in a day-long schedule last Sunday after which he proceeded to play football with the film’s crew.”

Bhaichung posted pictures from the shoot on his Facebook page. “On the sets of movie Pahuna. Had great time shooting and playing football with young monks and child actor. #BB15,” he captioned it.
