KOLKATA: No celebrity now can miss the opportunity opened up by the streaming platforms. Now, Priyanka Chopra Jonas joins the league signing a two-year multimillion-dollar first-look television deal with Amazon.
According to a Variety report, a general meeting with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke led to the first-look deal. Earlier, she was already collaborating with Amazon on two television projects. Amazon hopes the deal will help grow the studio’s footprint in the country.
“My quest really is to be able to tell female stories, work with creators from around the world and create a cross-pollination of storytelling. Amazon is such a great partner to do that because their reach and outlook is so global. My Amazon television deal is a global deal, so I can do Hindi language, I can do English language, I can do whatever language I want,” she said as quoted by Variety.
“As both an actor and producer, I have always dreamt of an open canvas of creative talent coming together from all over the world to create great content irrespective of language and geography. This has always been the DNA of my production house Purple Pebble Pictures, and is the foundation of this exciting new endeavor with Amazon,” she wrote in a post on Instagram.
