Priyanka Chopra also said that she hasn’t been able to fully achieve her potential in Hollywood unlike Bollywood yet.
Priyanka Chopra is establishing a worldwide presence in movie and television. Her worldwide credentials include Baywatch, The Matrix Resurrections and the recently released The Bluff as well as anchoring shows Quantico, and Citadel. But speaking at the Cannes Lions conference on Wednesday, the actor said she still believes her most defining work in the English-language world is still to come and that she’s eager to push her career into its next phase.
“I haven’t done that much in Hollywood really. I have worked in all genres, presented wonderful tales, and have worked with the top actors and filmmakers throughout my career in Hindi language. I haven’t really done that so much, while in America, in Hollywood, in my English job. Her next reinvention, she said, would be to find ways in her English-language career to emulate the range and complexity of parts she had previously explored in Indian film.

On a personal level, she opened up about how her priorities have shifted with marriage and kids, stating her “life has changed tremendously.” “You’ve altered your values,” she said. I can’t just pack up and go to the movies anymore. I’m not creating five films a year. I don’t go there as much as I used to. I’m very, very selective about my time and who I spend it with… I’m on a journey of a working mother life. I have so much more respect for my mother now
I was feeling a little stifled in Bollywood.
Priyanka had spoken about her decision to take a sabbatical from Bollywood at the zenith of her career a few months ago. I started feeling a little constricted working in India. “I like to use that word because I wanted to see what else is out there,” she told the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
When asked if she was going through a hard patch in Bollywood at that time she openly responded, “Nothing comes easy. We all have our issues. “I am just a dude that does not like to be in the shit, because then you get used to the smell,” she said. “I’m a huge fan of pivoting. When life throws us a curve ball, we may pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, take a time to grieve and experience the pain and pivot. “I’ve done that a few times in my career.”
As far as work goes, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi and a project with Orlando Bloom lined up next. Also in development is Mira Nair’s biopic Amri. The actress just announced that she would feature with Angelina Jolie in a future film.
