Priyanka Chopra Jonas has opened up about her experience of feeling “cornered” in the Hindi film industry in a recent podcast hosted by Hollywood actors Dax Shepard and Monica Padman. Chopra Jonas, who is currently in India to promote her upcoming Prime Video series “Citadel”, said she spoke about “the truth of my journey” when asked to look back at her life in India.
She revealed that she was “being pushed into a corner” in the Hindi film industry, leading her to pursue a Hollywood career in 2012. Chopra Jonas is now based out of Los Angeles and is the first South Asian actor to headline an American network drama series through ABC’s thriller drama series “Quantico” (2015).
Chopra Jonas has starred in several successful Hindi films including “Fashion”, “Barfi!” and “Bajirao Mastani” and won a National Award for her performance. In her Hollywood career, she has starred in films like “Baywatch” (2017) and “The Matrix: Resurrections”.
In “Citadel”, a global spy agency has fallen and its agents’ memories have been wiped clean, leaving them to fight back against a new rising threat. Chopra Jonas plays elite spy Nadia Sinh opposite Richard Madden’s Mason Kane. The show also features Stanley Tucci as Bernard Orlick and Lesley Manville as Dahlia Archer.
“Citadel” is produced by Amazon Studios and the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. The first two episodes will premiere on Prime globally on April 28 in 40 languages. It will serve as the flagship show that will blend with local shows already under production in India and Italy, starring Matilda De Angelis, Varun Dhawan, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
