Priyanka Chopra On Leaving Bollywood & Working In Hollywood

As quoted by Indian Express, Priyanka Chopra told Firstpost, “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 will soon be seen in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, her first Indian film since 2019. Also starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the upcoming epic action-adventure film will release in theatres on April 7, 2027, coinciding with the festival of Ugadi. Talking about the film, she told the publication, “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.”
