First PR should tell me what happened to this six films which PC was doing in BW? Oh wait Kalpana Chawla is one of the six so there is still hope. I take it that she isnt doing Sultan as she claimed 6 months back.

She said six films had been offered to her. Not that she is doing 6 films.

That is believable. She is one of the top actresses that can act.

I would not be surprised if producers/directors want to cast her.

For all we know they could be smaller production houses and independent films aswell.

Not just major films

I really really hope she does this! She'll suit the look of KC like no-other actress & has a habit of nailing biopics because she injects as much of the person's body language in it as she can! Fingers crossed

Ofcourse she must getting films...maybe more than six. But she wont do them. Who leaves a bigger industry for a smaller one? Not that she means any disrespect but its natural to try and gain a bigger audience. What I dont like is this constant stream of PR about her BW work when none exists and there is no intention to do them either for the next couple of years at the very least. If she was serious about BW she would have skipped that small role in Baywatch and those chote mote appearances on TV in USA dancing somewhere and some random chat show somewhere else and headed straight to Mumbai to shoot for her BW film.

What in the world?! :S

Hollywood is a smaller industry than Bollywood? :S I don't think so. even if it is why can't she try something new? Her choice!

Priyanka will be shooting for a Bollywood movie later this year! Likely Kalpana Chawla bio pic. So of course there's intention to do Bollywood films too. Lots exist in terms of offers so of course it will get reported as well.

She spent the last so many months shooting and promoting Quantico and shooting Baywatch. She's not doing random things, she's doing her work! I've never seen an actress that works as hard as her and takes her work so seriously. When she finds some time she'll shoot for a Bollywood film as well. I don't think she's someone that wouldn't take her work be it Bollywood or Hollywood seriously.

Calm down seriously! I said HW is the bigger industry. Read my post properly before getting excited or outraging. PC shot for one season of Quantico from September to April. So you are saying she will shoot for second season from July to maybe November-December. Is the show sure to get cancelled mid season? Else I dont see how she can shoot for anything in BW till mid 2017. I am sure before the second season shoot of Quantico is over she will get a few more bit roles in Baywatch in HW. She aint coming back here for Kalpana Chawla or Amrita Pritam. Its time you accept it.

They will only shoot season 2 episode 1 in July then Priyanka has almost all of July and August to shoot for a Bollywood film if she wants. I'm sure she will figure it out. I think she knows her schedule better than you.

Even last year Priyanka shot for the Quantico pilot then shot for 2 Bollywood movies (Bajirao Mastani and Jai Gangaajal) during the summer and then started shooting the rest of Quantico September onward.
