Priyanka also spoke about her journey in Hollywood and her latest release, The Matrix Resurrections. “For people to develop confidence in you takes time. I have been working for almost seven years (in Hollywood). It’s very exciting to be trusted with a movie like The Matrix Resurrections.” She also added, “Few of us South Asians, like Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari, Hasan Minhaj and Riz Ahmed, where we have pushed the envelope, where the door has been kicked open and we have demanded a seat on the table.”

Directed by Lana Wachowski, The Matrix Resurrections is the fourth film in the Matrix franchise. The film also features Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss and Jada, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II among others. Priyanka essays the role of grown-up Sati.

Recently, on the daytime talk show The View, Priyanka talked about shooting for the film amid the Covid-19 pandemic. She recalled crying and how her co-star Jada Pinkett Smith reassured her.

“This was the first thing I shot after our lockdown and this was in Berlin. I was flying from Los Angeles to Berlin and after not going anywhere for six months, it was terrifying. And by way of our jobs, we are the only people on the set that have to take off our masks. I’m asthmatic, my husband (Nick Jonas) is Type 1 diabetic, it was just so terrifying. I remember crying and Jada was on the flight with me. She was just such a leader. She held my hand and she was like, ‘We are going to do this together.’ She is a boss, I love her,” she had added.

Meanwhile, Priyanka also has the Amazon series Citadel, and Text For You in the pipeline.
