Priyanka Chopra Jonas has spent years representing India on the global stage while steadily building a career in Hollywood. Recently, the actress spoke about her ambitions at the Cannes Lions conference and reflected on the changing entertainment landscape, as well as the differences between her Bollywood and Hollywood journeys.

Speaking about the opportunities available to creators today, the actress said, “What a wonderful time to be an entertainer, to be in the entertainment business, because ideas are your currency. I feel like if you have an idea, soot it, put it on YouTube and it can become Obsession, the movie that just came out.”

She continued, “It used to be such a niche industry when I first started. If you wanted to get into filmmaking, you had to figure out what department you wanted to be in.

Priyanka also reflected on her own career and admitted that, despite her success in Hollywood, she feels she still has a lot more to achieve in English-language projects. The actress added, “In my Hindi-language career, I’ve worked with all the best filmmakers and the best actors, I’ve told amazing stories and done a variety of genres. Where as in America, in Hollywood, in my English-language work, I haven’t really done that as much.”
