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.
