Earlier, Priyanka Chopra took another step further to “course-correct Hollywood’s treatment of South Asian actors and people behind the scenes” as she signed a two-year multimillion-dollar first-look television deal with Amazon.
However, the makers are yet to reveal Priyanka’s role.
Talking to a publication, Priyanka had said, “My quest really is to be able to tell female stories, work with creators from around the world and create a cross-pollination of storytelling,” adding, “My Amazon television deal is a global deal, so I can do Hindi language, I can do English language, I can do whatever language I want.”
