A global icon in herself, actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas has once again stirred magic with her vocals, bringing a desi-flavoured reinvention of Wham!'s all-time classic 'Last Christmas' for Gurinder Chadha's upcoming film Christmas Karma.
Featured in Gurinder Chadha's upcoming festive family film, the song features Priyanka's mesmerising voice as she helms the Hindi lyrics, accompanied by melodious music. It also features a touch of classical India music, adding a layer of festivities.
Priyanka Chopra, who has proven her talent across the Indian film industry as well as in Hollywood, cementing herself as a versatile performer, marks a long-awaited collaboration with Gurinder Chadha.
The two share a friendship that dates back many years.
Speaking on the same, Priyanka Chopra hailed Gurinder Chadha as "one of the very few stalwarts in entertainment who have championed stories of the Indian diaspora globally and consistently with absolute authenticity and heart," as per a press release.
“She is a close friend and I wanted to support her with Christmas Karma in any small way I could. For so many of us, this song has been a Christmas classic, so I hope this desi twist resonates with the audience,” the actor remarked.
“I’m the biggest George Michael fan and, honestly, who isn’t? I appreciate George Michael’s estate for letting us do a unique take on the classic. When I asked my friend Priyanka Chopra Jonas to sing our fun Hindi version, she graciously supported me and the film with her lovely rendition of ‘Last Christmas’,” said ‘Christmas Karma’ director Chadha.
“The addition of Priyanka Chopra to the classic Christmas song is a ‘perfect East meets West bridge,’” said Civic Studios CEO Anushka Shah.
Gurinder Chadha, director of ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ and ‘Blinded By The Light’ is known for her films. ‘Christmas Karma’ is a refreshing, feel-good, and festive musical adaptation of the Dickens classic ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Kunal Nayyar plays the lead role as a contemporary Scrooge, alongside actors Eva Longoria, Billy Porter, Boy George, Danny Dyer, Leo Suter, Pixie Lott, Charithra Chandran, and Hugh Bonneville.
PVRINOX Pictures will release the film in India on December 12, 2025, and will provide the audience with a fun, cheerful film for the holidays.
