Priyanka Chopra to attend friend's royal wedding

<p>Salman Khan’s <em>Bharat</em> has been in the news ever since the makers announced the film. For the most part of the time, it was around Priyanka Chopra joining the star cast -- which finally got <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-its-confirmed-priyanka-chopra-to-star-opposite-salman-khan-in-bharat-130921">confirmed</a> last month when both Salman and Priyanka took to their Twitter to make the announcement. Now, it is being said that even Tiger Shroff’s rumoured girlfriend Disha Patani will be joining the cast as the requirement of the script is of two heroines.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film <em>Bharat </em>is a remake of the South Korean film <em>Ode to my Father.</em> Salman Khan will star in and produce the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This refutes all previous claims of Shraddha Kapoor joining the cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the plot of the film, filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar said, “Since the story spans over a period of 70 years, there will be many historical references. It is essentially about a man who lives through several significant moments from India’s past to present. We are currently working on the film’s pre-production and details will be announced once we are in a position to talk about them.”</p>

<p>According to a report published in DNA, a source revealed: “Salman will sport five different looks in Bharat, which begins with him witnessing one of the most dramatic chapters of our history — the Partition. It’s an Indian adaptation of the Korean movie, Ode to My Father and will be a commercial film with a mix of action, drama and music.”</p>

<p>The film is slated to release on Eid 2019 and will go on floors in July, after the release of Salman Khan’s <em>Race 3</em>, this year’s Eid release.&nbsp;</p>

Meanwhile, American actor, producer and comedian Kal Penn reacted to the news and posted on Twitter asking Priyanka Chopra if she would like to do a movie together. "Hey @priyankachopra let’s do a movie," read Penn's tweet. Done n done @kalpenn ❤️ https://t.co/zA9Ogp1ylq — PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) May 11, 2018 × Priyanka Chopra replied saying, "Done n done".

ABC scraps Priyanka Chopra's TV show 'Quantico'

<p>You won't be able to take your eyes off Priyanka Chopra. Our very own 'desi girl' was a vision in crimson red as she walked the red carpet at the annual Met Gala on Monday night.&nbsp<br />
<br />
The Met Gala is themed as 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination' and Priyanka's outfit was a wonderous interpretation of that perhaps as she stepped out dressed as Mother Mary!<br />
<br />
She wore a strapless velvet crimson red gown and paired it with a heavily embellished gold hood that covered her head. The actress wore dark red lipstick and finger accessories to complete her look.&nbsp</p>

<p>In an interview with a leading fashion magazine, she divulged details about her recently signed a film with Salman Khan, titled <em>Bharat</em> that will go on floors sometime this year. Speaking about it, she said, "Bharat is the Indian movie I signed this year. It's the quintessential Bollywood movie, which I haven't done in many years. A lot of them were dramatic and thematic. This one's going to be out and out entertainment. I'm excited! I haven't been back to do a movie in two or three years now."</p>

<p>She continued, "I can explain that more. When people say, "You're doing a Bollywood movie," they only think of Bollywood movies being synchronized song and dance. Bollywood is the name for an entire industry. Those aren't the only kind of movies we make."</p>

<p>She explained what Bollywood is all about and defined the kind of cinema the industry produces. She said, "We have every other genre. Yes, music is a very important part of it, but we don't have synchronized dancing in everything we do. Plus, Bollywood is not a place. Every country and every culture has its stereotype, I get that. Here, everyone has superpowers and aliens only land in America. I just really want Indian cinema to break through that and for people to be introduced to the other forms of Indian cinema we have."</p>

<p>Also, Priyanka being herself couldn't stop giving us reasons to love her more and so she added, "To me, being an Indian actor, or an actor of South Asian descent, or a woman of color, or an immigrant-whichever title you like-being all of those people and being in America and getting the kind of welcome and love I've gotten within the industry, it feels like a sense of acceptance. I hope with me getting that acceptance, it opens up the floodgates for more people who look like me. I hope that sort of makes the conversation for actresses or people of colour to get more opportunities because it's the opportunities that lack."</p>

<p>"I'm an actor and an artist, and I want to go where my work takes me. I don't want to settle for one or two countries, I want the world. I'm very clear about it. As long as people want to watch me, I want to entertain”, she added.&nbsp;<br />

With 'Bharat', Priyanka will make her comeback in Bollywood after two years. The film stars Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles.

Deepika Padukone to follow Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra's footsteps?

<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>

Priyanka Chopra meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi

<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>

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.

<p>Ali Abbas Zafar managed a casting coup of sorts as he signed Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra for his next film <em>Bharat</em>.

Bharat is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and is reportedly a two-heroine project.

Is Shraddha Kapoor part of Salman Khan-Priyanka Chopra starrer Bharat?

<p>Global star Priyanka Chopra has now been signed up for a role opposite Salman Khan in his upcoming film, &quot;Bharat&quot;.</p>

<p>Been off the grid from Bollywood films, Priyanka is speculated to reunite with her former&nbsp;co-star&nbsp;after&nbsp;wrapping the shoot for her <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-anupam-kher-met-priyanka-chopra-on-the-sets-of-quantico-35877" target="_blank">American TV show &quot;Quantico&quot;.</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/heres-why-priyanka-chopra-did-not-attend-the-oscar-ceremony-this-year-34741" target="_blank">Also Read:&nbsp;Here&#39;s why Priyanka Chopra did not attend the Oscar ceremony this year</a></p>

&nbsp;<br />
Helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar,&nbsp;&quot;Bharat&quot;&nbsp;will have a storyline that spans over 70 years of India. Ali, in an interview earlier said,&nbsp;&quot;Since the story spans over a period of 70 years, there will be many historical references. It is essentially about a man who lives through several significant moments from India&rsquo;s past to present. We are currently working on the film&rsquo;s pre-production and details will be announced once we are in a position to talk about them.&quot;<br />

The movie will mark Priyanka and Salman's onscreen reunion, after a decade

Global star Priyanka Chopra has now been signed up for a role opposite Salman Khan in his upcoming film, "Bharat". Been off the grid from Bollywood films, Priyanka is speculated to reunite with her former co-star after wrapping the shoot for her American TV show "Quantico". Also Read: Here's why Priyanka Chopra did not attend the Oscar ceremony this year As reported by a daily, a source revealed: "Priyanka has also worked with Ali in Gunday (2014) and shares a good rapport with him. This film will see the three of them collaborate for the first time." The Salman-Priyanka Jodi was last seen together on the big screen in 2004 hit film "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" (2004), "Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love" (2007) and "God Tussi Great Ho" (2008). Helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, "Bharat" will have a storyline that spans over 70 years of India. Ali, in an interview earlier said, "Since the story spans over a period of 70 years, there will be many historical references. It is essentially about a man who lives through several significant moments from India’s past to present. We are currently working on the film’s pre-production and details will be announced once we are in a position to talk about them." "Bharat" is the Indian adaptation of the Korean movie, "Ode to My Father" and is slated for an Eid 2019 release. Salman Khan is currently awaiting the release of his latest film "Race 3" while Priyanka is in New York shooting for the third season of American TV series "Quantico".

When Anupam Kher met Priyanka Chopra on the sets of 'Quantico'

<p>Priyanka Chopra has been a regular on the Oscar red carpet for the past two years. Which is why when the actress did not make an appearance on the red carpet this year, fans wondered why she had given the ceremony a miss.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an Instagram story, the actress wished her friends luck and cited her bad health as a reason for missing the Oscars. &quot;I wish all my friends nominated tonight all the very best! So sick but wishing everyone from bed! Can&#39;t wait to know the winners! #oscars2018,&quot; Priyanka wrote, along with a selfie of herself.</p>
