Priyanka on what she has been told about ‘non-English movies’
This number reminded her how, during the early years of her career, people told her that non-English films wouldn’t really “travel.” “When I started working, I was 18 years old. I remember being told that, I come from an industry that spoke Hindi and Telugu, non-English films. I remember when I was seeking work across borders, I was told that films with subtitles or films that are non-English don’t travel. Yet, here we are today,” she said.
“You managed to create a beautiful and safe place for filmmakers and storytellers all over the world to come together with no notions of nationality, language, and borders for that. We know, as people who work, and I might be biased, but in one of the best, most incredible industries in the world: We play for a living, we tell stories for a living, we dream about things for a living. You have gotten all to come together beyond borders, languages just to celebrate this: an amazing medium, cinema,” added Priyanka.

According to her, Priyanka recalls, “My father was the first performer in my life. I lost him around 2013. However, he taught me the joy of being a person at a party. If there were plenty of people invited to such an event, my father would have been there with them. He showed how a totally confident and completely vulnerable entertainer can be, that is, unabashed entertainer and how completely confident and completely vulnerable at the same time, it can be.”
