After wrapping up a
three-day schedule for her Marathi production, the Rajesh
Mapuskar-directed Ventilator in Mumbai recently, Priyanka Chopra flew
off to New York on July 4 with mum, Madhu Chopra, to start filming the
second season of her American TV show, Quantico. The schedule will go on
through 14-hour shifts till March 2017. PeeCee gets two-three India
trips in between.
She may be away from her desi films, but the actress admits that she has a “teesri aankh“ and is too much of a micro-manager to let others take decisions for her. “Ventilator directed by Rajesh Mapuskar has my name attached to it so I have to be comfortable with everything that's happening. The crew back home teases me saying that US main baithe baithe I know everything that's happening in Mumbai,“ she chuckled between shots for the film at a Versova studio. She is dressed in ripped denims, a white ganjee and a trench coat for a shot, which she picked out from her personal wardrobe. While the aforementioned appearance was set in a theatre with assistant directors posing as students, the actress also filmed a special Marathi song. “Life is transient and I am a creative person who constantly looks for new outlets. I have been writing a lot and I am producing films, I like to evolve in different directions,“ she asserted.
This is PeeCee's third regional production, the first being the Bhojpuri June release, Bam Bam Bol Raha Hai Kashi, and the second a Punjabi drama titled Ek Onkar. “Soon, I am going to do another three films in different languages. My focus is on small-budget movies. It's a great time for filmmaking and there's interesting stuff coming my way,“ she says confidently. From beauty pageant winner to international actress, singer and now, a producer, there's a reason why her American crew calls her the “multi-hyphenated Priyanka Chopra“.
She takes it as a compliment. “If I wasn't producing films or doing different things like my web-series, I would still have been successful because I am a winner by nature and a survivor. People pursue happiness, success, money or fame, for me it's the pursuit of excellence. I want to be excellent at my role in my Marathi film too, even if it is a guest appearance. If you're consistent, you will never be denied success, no matter the age or stage,“ she signs off.
