Bollywood celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon are proud of Priyanka Chopra's act in American television series "Quantico".

The "Mary Kom" star shared a three-minute trailer of the new show on her micro-blogging website Twitter on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old actress captioned the video: "Here it is The trailer of #Quantico! Say whaaaa? Me so nervous!!!"

Priyanka, who is the first Bollywood actress to star in a pilot at ABC will be seen essaying Alex Parrish, a half-Caucasian, half-Indian FBI trainee with a haunted past.

The show centres on a diverse group of recruits who have arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. Being the best and brightest of the lot, it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11, according to deadline.com.

"Quantico" also stars Dougray Scott as Liam, Jake McLaughlin as Ryan, Aunjanue Ellis as Miranda, Yasmine Al Massri as Nimah, Johanna Braddy as Shelby, Tate Ellington as Simon Asher and Graham Rogers as Caleb Haas.

The series is written by Josh Safran. Executive producers are Josh Safran, Mark Gordon and Nick Pepper and it will air in the fall season.
