Viral Photos: Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden kickstart shooting for web show Citadel

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden in Citadel

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden have begun shooting for the web show, Citadel. Snapshots from the shoot in England have found their way online. Russo Brothers' action thriller sees the actors play spies. PeeCee's look appears to be similar to Princess Leia of the Star War franchise. Though the makers have not revealed details about the storyline, there appears to be an element of sci-fi as well.

Priyanka is currently seen in the film adaptation of "The White Tiger", which released on Netflix on January 22. She recently completed work on "Text For You", developing an untitled comedy with Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor, and also has roles in Russo Brothers' "Citadel" and "The Matrix 4".

When Priyanka Chopra Jonas started her journey in the West, there was no one to facilitate her entry into Hollywood with adequate opportunities. That is something she wants to change, with the power to create stories. Now that she has turned producer, the actress says she wants to help in the normalisation of South Asian people through stories as a producer.

"I don't put myself in a box. I am very organic with what I feel. I am doing a comedy with Mindy Kaling, which is probably one of the first few romantic comedies in Hollywood that you will see with an all-South Asian star cast. I don't remember the last time that has happened. So that's something very exciting. It was my quest," Priyanka told IANS.

"When I started working there, nobody made opportunities for me. In fact, opportunities for people who are South Asian and look like us are very limited in Hollywood. I wanted to be able to be a kind of producer that creates that," she added.

"So far, I feel unfinished. I have a lot to do. I don't know what that is. But I just (want to) keep walking in that direction," said the 38-year-old.
