Abha Mathur

"How we prepared her, taught her to salute, made her wear khaki and made Priyanka Chopra IPS officer Abha Mathur, benefited Quantico. She is doing good work because of that, on the basis of our training. And now she is doing Baywatch," said director Prakash Jha

Jai Gangaajal stars Priyanka Chopra as Abha Mathur, the first woman Superintendent of Police or SP of Bankepur, a village in the badlands of Uttar Pradesh. Director Prakash Jha, making his acting debut, plays cop B N Singh, who is in the pocket of the politician-antagonist played by Manav Kaul

"Here's a little known fact about Prakash Jha. Apart from being an amazing director, he also has a talent for making grown men quake in their boots every time he picked up the directors mike! Fun to watch when it's directed elsewhere. Scary to be on the receiving end," Priyanka Chopra wrote on Instagram

From the two-and-a-half minute trailer of the Prakash Jha-film, one can see that Jai Gangaajal is packed with powerful punches and dialogues, both of which delivered by Priyanka Chopra with brilliance. Enter Abha Mathur, the first woman SP of Bankepur and she is here for a purpose and will not be humoured by sycophants

Jai Gangaajal is a sequel to director Prakash Jha's 2003 hit film Gangaajal, which starred Ajay Devgn in the lead role. Jai Gangaajal replaces the male protagonist with a female cop named Abha Mathur, who takes on some powerful and influential men in her district
