The filmmaker also suggested that the term ‘crossover’ does not apply to Priyanka any longer because she has essentially become a global star. “Maybe early on when she was doing her first work outside of India, the idea of crossover could be more useful with her. But I think now it doesn’t resonate just because she seems complete in both places.”
Russo appears to be suggesting that unlike the past, when Hollywood might have viewed Priyanka Chopra as an actor from India merely visiting the industry, she is a foundational part in both it and the Indian film industry. Essentially, he paid the actor a compliment by saying that she has reached a level of stardom where she is not defined by her Indian roots any longer or her transition but rather by her complete integration into cinema as a whole around the world.
Beyond The BluffPriyanka is also coming back to Indian cinema with a role in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasiopposite Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
