Priyanka Chopra, who is giving us major vacation goals by sharing some breathtaking pictures from her Italian vacation with husband Nick Jonas, has not graced the silver screen with a Hindi film for quite some time now. She was last seen in Prakash Jha’s cop-drama Jai Gangaajal, which released in 2016. Since then, the actress is busy fulfilling her Hollywood ambitions, while her fans on the home turf are dying to see her in any Hindi movie.
The next Hindi release for Priyanka Chopra is going to be The Sky Is Pink. Directed by Shonali Bose and also starring Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim in pivotal roles, The Sky Is Pink is scheduled to hit theatres on 11th October, 2019. While she is looking forward to the release of the much-awaited film, there is no update on her future projects in Bollywood.
However, if some industry insiders are to be believed, Priyanka Chopra is in early negotiations with a number of leading filmmakers as she does not wish to give up her career in Bollywood. “She is in negotiations with several prominent filmmakers, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar and Vishal Bhardwaj. She has no intentions of giving up her career in Hindi cinema,” a source reveals to an Indian daily.
A filmmaker, who is very close to the actress, mentions, “Priyanka can’t take any Bollywood assignment just because it has a big hero’s or a big director’s name attached to it. Her role has to say something. She is being watched very closely by fans across the world.”
Well, we do hope that Priyanka Chopra signs more Bollywood films because it is always a treat to watch her on celluloid. We are surely waiting for an official announcement regarding her next ventures in Hindi cinema.
