Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has become a global icon now. From having hit TV series to Big budget Hollywood movies, she has seen it all.
While talking to Cameron Bailey at Toronto International Film Festival, she shared that the role of Alex Parrish was not written for her.
The 'Bajirao Mastani' star also shared the difficulties women have to face in the film industry.
She noted, "I've had people take away films from me because I might not have agreed with them. Once I was asked not to be a part of a cast because I was too ethnic. I didn't realize how hard it was until I came to North America."
The actress also shared that she took the opportunity to work in Hollywood as she wanted to break the ceiling for actors that looked like her.
After portraying a simple Meera in "Cocktail" and a fun Happy in "Happy Bhaag Jayegi", actress Diana Penty is now excited to play a military officer in the upcoming film "Parmanu - The Story Of Pokhran".
It's been two years since the release of the first part of S.S. Rajamouli's "Bahubali" franchise and there is so much to learn from its success, feel the next-gen filmmakers such as Chandoo Mondeti, Nag Ashwin and Sankalp Reddy.
In 2006, I was a background dancer at IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) celebrations. Then when I made my debut in 2013, I performed at IIFA and in 2017, I am nominated for the Best Actor award.
Actor Prabhas, who invested four years in the two-part "Bahubali" franchise, was on Monday nostalgic about the first film clocking two years. He says the team owes the success of the films to director S.S. Rajamouli.
