Priyanka Chopra: Beyond the Crossover
11 Feb
Summary
- Chopra Jonas rejects 'crossover' label for her dual Hollywood/Bollywood success.
- Her film 'The Bluff' is a streaming-first release on Amazon Prime Video.
- Upcoming film 'Varanasi' boasts a $150 million budget, the highest for an Indian movie.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is making her mark across global cinema, asserting her status beyond the term 'crossover.' She has established herself as a consistent force in both Hollywood and the Indian film industry. Her recent venture, 'The Bluff,' a late-19th-century Caribbean drama, premiered as a streaming-exclusive on Amazon Prime Video. This project highlights the growing importance of streaming platforms in distributing content that may not fit traditional theatrical models.
Chopra Jonas is also set to star in 'Varanasi,' an upcoming Indian film with an unprecedented $150 million budget, making it the most expensive Indian movie to date. This film represents a significant return to Indian cinema on her own terms. She is also a key figure in Amazon's ambitious spy series 'Citadel,' which had a substantial $300 million budget for its first season and garnered significant viewership.
Having started her career in India and later transitioning to Hollywood, Chopra Jonas has navigated a unique path. She has moved from being the highest-paid actress in India to securing roles in major Hollywood productions and leading high-budget streaming series. Her approach is strategic, focusing on claiming her space and selecting projects that align with her vision, rather than conforming to industry labels.
