Planning something with Priyanka Chopra, says Amazon Studios

Mumbai, Mar 8: Priyanka Chopra is an incredible businesswoman and is collaborating with Amazon Studios on a project that will be announced soon, its head Jennifer Salke said.

The streaming arm of the studio, Amazon Prime Video just announced a documentary on Jonas brothers and Salke credited Priyanka, who is married to Nick Jonas, for introducing the musicians to her.

"I met Nick through Priyanka and they sent me the video. We are doing something with Priyanka also, which we have not announced yet.

"I love Priyanka, she has so many incredible ideas and is interested in so many different things -- from unscripted shows, socially conscious shows to big dramas and comedy. She is an incredible businesswoman. You can look for us to be doing more stuff with her," Salke told PTI in an interview.

Salke said the documentary is a "personal, behind-the-scenes look" at the lives of the band members, who broke up in 2013.

The music group, consisting of three brothers -- Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas -- released the song "Sucker" last week marking their comeback after six years.

The video of the track also features their real-life partners -- Danielle Deleasa, Sophie Turner and Priyanka, respectively.

Salke, who was in India to announce Bollywood star Akshay Kumar's streaming debut on their platform with action-thriller series "The End", said they are looking for both curated and original content in the country by establishing a long-term relationship with local talent.

"For us, it is about those relationships and creating a collaborative environment for creative people. It is not about 'Let's greenlight a certain amount of shows in a certain amount of time' but we are looking at hitting a certain cinematic bar with every show. It requires a more careful and thoughtful process with writers," she said.

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead. 

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
