Why Priyanka Chopra's Next Hollywood Move After 'Quantico' And 'Baywatch' Is A Strategic Win

In the pipeline are films with Liam Hemsworth and Jim Parsons.

Priyanka Chopra, who made her Hollywood debut with the widely-panned commercial disaster Baywatch, is all set to join the cast of two new international films, Variety reports.

The first one is titled A Kid Like Jake which will be directed by Silas Howard, who directed the multiple Emmy nominated Amazon trans comedy, Transparent.

Silas is himself a celebrated trans director, known to have brought the prejudices plaguing the trans community into the forefront through his work (Transparent, By Hook or By Crook).

A Kid Like Jake also veers into the same territory.

It's the story about a set of parents who have a gender-variant child. When they try to get their child admitted to pre-school, the director of the institution asks them to emphasise the child's gender non-conformity to secure a scholarship at a private facility.

If the deal goes through, Chopra will be seen alongside The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons, Claire Danes (Homeland's Carrie Mathison), and Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer. Chopra will play a single mom, a friend of Jake's parents, and someone who's trying to reclaim her own love life.

PC won't get that much good work in BW anyway. It is owing to her growing age + her not being on good terms with a lot of male leads. She can't work with SRK and Akshay because their wives won't let them. PC has not worked with Salman for a real long time because she chose to stay away from him, just like DP did. Her films with Shahid don't work and most of the other guys are younger than her. Aamir's films may not have much for PC to do. And at 35, she can mostly do female lead films only. She tried and failed with Saat Khoon Maaf, What's your rashes and a few others. A few did well too but that doesn't guarantees her good work here. And how many good films does bollywood makes anyway.
At least in HW, after a few small roles, she might get noticed enough to do so good bigger roles. Plus the money and exposure is great. The thing is that even now, after so many years of good work and appreciation, PC is not complacent and is confident enough to start from small roles again, knowing well that she can work hard and act well for the bigger and better things to happen. You have to start somewhere and that is better than just fading into oblivion.

This manhoos panauti will sink this movie as well.

When I watch Hollywood I dont want to see desis speaking in bad English accent. If someone is a desi but born in US and speaks the language then sure they can work in Hollywood

But these wannabes who fake their accent are a pain to watch.

Deepika was so bad in cage movie..i had to turn on CC to read what she was saying

What is the fascination to be in hollywood when u cannot speak their language..

That certainly is the image she is trying to build for herself, as if she is a well established name there. Which is NOT! Landing these small roles in B grade films only exposes what her true stature in Hollywood is. Her PR better stop hyping her if she can only land shoddy roles like this.

LOL just because two months is open, doing two films there in a hurry without caring for the role or the movie is a bit too desperate. She should focus on quality not quantity if she wants to build any credibility. Her future offers depend on her past work, and if she continues doing shit she will never be able to rise above that.



You are just jealous Sonam cant get even close to where PC is 😆

Smart move.
Her bollywood chapter is over. She doesnt have Box office pull to be the lead here.

Hollywood is the better fit for her at this age. Even if you sign small roles, even if it takes 10 years, age is not a barrier there and they offer more money.

Acting as if PC is the ONLY ONE who does that. Atleast she doesn't talk like Sonam, quoting her role in BhaagMilkaBhaag to be pathbreaking AND critically acclaimed

These baby steps make you go somewhere in completely foreign industry. Every outsider has to hustle it up with small roles before breaking through... PC- do what you wanna do, be confident and RISE ABOVE.
