Priyanka Chopra, Will Smith to collaborate on this project

<p>Trailer for <em>A Kid Like Jake</em> released today starring Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles.</p>

<p>In what looks like an emotionally-charged film, <em>A Kid Like Jake</em> revolves around a couple (Claire and Jim) that live in Brooklyn with their four-year-old son who is interested in princess and fairy tales. As the child explores his likings and tastes, there is a lot of confusion between the couple who are forced to think of their roles as parents and spouses.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The confusion then develops into tension when Jake’s kindergarten teacher played by Octavia Spencer informs the parents that his gender-nonconforming play may be more than a phase. Our very own desi star Priyanka Chopra is seen in glimpses towards the end of the trailer. &nbsp;</p>

<p><em>A Kid Like Jake</em> was premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2018 and the whole team attended the event. Priyanka shared a series of photos and videos on her Instagram page.&nbsp;</p>

'A Kid Like Jake' trailer: Priyanka Chopra's second Hollywood film looks high on emotions

<p>Global icon Priyanka Chopra might be charting the ladders of success, engaging in Hollywood projects and making a name for herself but there is still something that pulls her back time and again -- her skin colour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently in an interview, Priyanka revealed her colour bias incident when she was rejected for a role in a Hollywood film because of her brown colour. She said, "It happened last year. I was out for a movie, and somebody (from a studio) called one of my agents and said, ‘She’s wrong—what word did they use?—‘physicality.’ So in my defence as an actor, I’m like, ‘Do I need to be skinnier? Do I need to get in shape? Do I need to have abs?’ Like, what does ‘wrong physicality’ mean?”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“And then my agent broke it down for me. Like, ‘I think, Priy, they meant that they wanted someone who’s not brown.’ It affected me," said the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-anupam-kher-met-priyanka-chopra-on-the-sets-of-quantico-35877"><em>Quantico</em> </a>actor, who is the only South Asian actor to headline an American show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the same interview, she also revealed that wage gap is a reality and is bigger in big-ticket films involving bigger actors. She said, “People don’t go watch females in movies because they don’t believe that they can be heroes. The world has to change the way they look at their heroes. Specifically how men can help is changing the ‘locker-room talk’ conversation. Nothing will change until we break the stereotypes of gender in our normal, day-to-day life."</p>

<p>For Hindi cinema lovers, Priyanka also revealed that she will soon announce a Bollywood film as she is pining to work for her home country. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-priyanka-chopra-to-romance-salman-khan-in-bharat-36436">Also Read:&nbsp;Priyanka Chopra to romance Salman Khan in 'Bharat'?</a></p>

Even after many Hollywood celebrities have spoken against racial discrimination and inequality that exists within the industry, not much has changed for artists of colour.

Global icon Priyanka Chopra might be charting the ladders of success, engaging in Hollywood projects and making a name for herself but there is still something that pulls her back time and again -- her skin colour.
