Actress Priyanka Chopra is more than happy on being nominated in the Villain category at the Teen Choice 2017 awards and she says it means a lot to her.

Priyanka, who has been nominated for her maiden Hollywood film "Baywatch", took to Twitter on Wednesday night and wrote: "This truly means a lot, thank you Teen Choice Awards for nominating me as Choice Movie Villain, and a huge thank you to all who have voted!"

"Baywatch" is an action comedy film directed by Seth Gordon and based on the television series of the same name. The film also stars Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Jon Bass and Ilfenesh Hadera.

Priyanka is seen essaying a negative role - of a woman named Victoria Leeds - in the movie, which revolves around lifeguard Mitch Buchannon and his team who, in an effort to save their beach, have to take down a drug lord.

Currently, Priyanka has two films in her kitty - "A Kid Like Jake" and "Isn't It Romantic".
