Priyanka Chopra wants new talents for Purple Pebble Pictures, her production house

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has launched her production house Purple Pebble Pictures and has indicated that she is working to back new talent in regional as well as Hindi films. She wants to work with and push new talent like writers. The reason is that when she entered the film industry, she did not know anyone and getting a foothold is a tough affair.
She made the comments at a press meet for her film 'Bajirao Mastani'.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 27 December 2015.

She has also indicated that she was keen to promote regional cinema. She is currently working on three regional films and two Hindi films and will make an announcement soon. However, she has ruled out the possibility of turning director because it was a job with 'immense responsibility'.
Her successes in 2015 are - 'Dil Dhadakne Do', 'Bajirao Mastani' and the international TV series 'Quantico' where she plays the role of a FBI officer. Incidentally, 'Quantico' has become so successful that it has got extended from 13 to 22 episodes and is likely to get a second season due to its success.
She admits that it is difficult to maintain a career in both America and in India. She already has choices of six really interesting films in India and two really interesting films in Hollywood. She will now have to decide which ones she would accept. Of course, she will next be seen as a police officer in 'Jai Gangaajal'.
