'There is something about Mary,' the actor wrote. 'She is badass, inspirational and unstoppable.'

'It's the reason I immediately wanted to be a part of her story, when I got the opportunity to portray her on-screen.

'And getting to know her during the process of making the film just cemented that feeling.'

The mag's January cover star Mary Kom, who recently claimed a spot at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 qualifiers, strikes an imposing pose on the cover.

Dressed in green track pants with a matching jacket and a black sports bra, she completed the look with a brass necklace and plaited hair.

In Priyanka's words, the six time world champion 'is a genuine human being and an amazing lady… that's 'Magnificent Mary'.
