| Priyanka Chopra |
Ten years in Bollywood and 31-year-old actress Priyanka Chopra has everything going for her -- a hit career where she has worked with the superstars of the film industry, lots of awards, including a National Award, a massive fan following and plenty of interesting movies in her kitty.
But when some people reach the top of the game, they want more.
That seems to be the case with Chopra, as she attempts to launch an international music career as well as acting opportunities in Hollywood.
One such opportunity came her way in Disney’s new animation film Planes, where Chopra does the voice-over for an Indian aircraft called Ishani, who participates in a world flying competition and is also the love interest of the film’s main protagonist plane, Dusty Cropper (the voice of Dane Cook).
Directed by Klay Hall, who has previously worked on hit TV shows such as The Simpsons and King of the Hill, Planes also features the voices of Terri Hatcher, John Cleese, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Val Kilmer, Sinbad and Cedric the Entertainer. Clearly, Chopra is in esteemed company.
Chopra spoke to Aseem Chhabra by phone from Los Angeles, and discussed her Exotic plans.
It was really interesting to see an Indian character in an animation film. And if I am not mistaken, you probably are the first actor from India to do animation voice-over in the west.
I think so. I haven’t heard of anyone else who has done it.
