MUMBAI: Actress Priyanka Chopra is all set to debut her single ‘In My City’ featuring Will.i.am on 13 September in Thursday Night Kickoff — the pre-game show for National Football League (NFL) Network’s Thursday Night Football.
“It’s been an honour working with the NFL Network to create such a fantastic launch for my debut single. I’m really thrilled to bring my music and a touch of India to America and its football fans,” Chopra told the Hollywood Reporter.
