Priyanka Chopra's 'Mary Kom' to open Toronto International Film Festival

Priyanka Chopra's Mary Kom will not just travel all the way to the Toronto International Film Festival, but also open it. Being a one of a kind biopic on a woman athlete, Mary Kom is definitely a step forward for Bollywood. 

The trailer, which was released on Wednesday, gave a glimpse into the story of aspirations and inspirations, taking us through the meandering course of ace boxer MC Mary Kom's life. Priyanka looks spectacular in the trailer, and packs in a real punch, literally! The movie is slated to hit screens in India on September 5.

After two recent disappointing outings in Zanjeer and Gunday, Priyanka's Mary Kom gives her an opportunity to portray a strong character and we hope it gets her appreciation on the world stage as well. 

The 39th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) will take place from September 4 to September 14.
