Priyanka Chopra has revealed that she never wanted to leave Bollywood. However, she left the Hindi film industry because she felt that ‘limited’ here. PeeCee was recently speaking to Firstpost when she opened
up about establishing herself in Hollywood. The global icon mentioned that she started looking for opportunities outside Bollywood because she was “pushed” into hunting for something exciting.
“I don’t think I ever wanted to leave Bollywood. I felt limited for many reasons when I was working in Hindi films. I wanted to expand. I was kind of pushed into wanting to look for opportunities that would be exciting to me as an artiste. I landed up working in America and now, I feel like, after almost 12 years or so, I am finding the momentum to pick and choose really amazing work and that’s not easy,” Priyanka said, as quoted by Indian Express.
Priyanka Chopra has been a part of several Hollywood projects, including The Bluff, Citadel, Heads of State, Love Again and Quantico, among others. Her last Hindi movie was The Sky is Pink, which was released in India in 2019.
While Priyanka Chopra is currently working on SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, she is excited for the project and for her collaboration with Mahesh Babu. Talking about the same, the actress shared, “I love my Indian films. I am really happy to be doing Varanasi back in India again and I would hate to have to choose between the two. I never have. I feel like I straddle both worlds and I enjoy working in both industries. They are both different to work with in many ways just as cultures are, but now, my brain can work in two different ways now so it’s really a unique, amazing, fun thing to be able to do.”
Meanwhile, PeeCee was also supposed to collaborate with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt for Farhan Akhtar’s movie – Jee Le Zara. However, there is no update on the film’s shoot schedule as of now.
