Priyanka Chopra has been part of the Hollywood film industry for a couple of years now. After starring in American TV series ‘Quantico’ in 2015, she went on to feature in ‘Baywatch’ (2017), ‘A Kid Like Jake’ (2018) and ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ (2021), among others. Next up, she will be seen in the Prime Video series ‘Citadel’, and has been busy promoting the Russo Brothers' produced show – first in Mumbai and then in London and Rome.
In a new interview, the actress revealed that she landed the show without auditioning. Priyanka further mentioned how 'auditioning isn’t a bad thing', adding that people are not cast ‘because they are the flavour of the season’.
She told News18, “I didn’t audition for Citadel. But I had to audition for my first project in Hollywood. And auditioning isn’t a bad thing. It’s normal. In fact, we should do a lot more of it... People are cast because of merit and not because they are the flavour of the season or someone likes them or has recommended their name.”
She further said, “So, an actor like me who enjoyed being a leading lady in Bollywood and knows her job will not be side-lined when I’m auditioned. I’ll be good because I’m a good actor. I’ll win the job like I did with Quantico because I’m good at my job. And I’m not under-confident."
The first season of the spy series ‘Citadel’ consists of six episodes, with two episodes releasing on April 28 on Prime Video. it is executive produced by the Russo Brothers and showrunner David Weil, and also features Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville.
