Actor and producer Priyanka Chopra is on road to bringing extra desi illustration to world tv. As per a spread report, she has signed a ‘two-year multimillion-dollar first-look television deal’ with Amazon.
“And as a storyteller, my quest is to constantly push myself to explore new ideas that not only entertain, but most significantly, open minds and perspectives. Looking back on my 20-year career, nearly 60 films later, I hope that I’m on my thanks to achieving that,” she added in her post.
Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke told Variety, “Priyanka and that I bonded over a shared passion for diverse global storytelling. Priyanka is drawn to exciting original content and characters which will resonate globally. She’s a powerhouse producer, and that we are thrilled to collaborate together with her for years to return .”
Currently, Priyanka already has two Amazon projects she is engaged in. One is a reality dance show Sangeet, which she is producing together with her singer husband Nick Jonas. It is inspired by their very own marriage ceremony sangeet and will see families of the bride and groom compete against one another for the winning trophy.
The other project is Anthony and Joe Russo’s Citadel, a spy drama by which she’s going to star with Richard Madden of Game of Thrones and Bodyguard.
Because the deal may be a global one, Priyanka will get to form content in both English and Hindi languages. “My quest really is to be ready to tell female stories, work with creators from around the world and make a cross-pollination of storytelling.
Amazon is such an excellent partner to try to that because their reach and outlook are so global. My Amazon television deal is a global deal, so I can do the Hindi language, I can do the English language, I can do whatever language I want,” she stated.
