Apart from acting, the actress has also been busy as a producer. She recently co-produced an all-Asian cast film titled Evil Eye.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Priyanka weighed in on the diverse cast and said she wants to create opportunities for brown actors in Hollywood through her production house. "My quest in life, as a producer, is to influx Hollywood with brown people, because we don't see enough of us," she said, before adding, "I want to demand leading parts for people who are like me. I want to have girls that look like me... start to be on the poster of a movie."
The new release sees an Indian mother-daughter duo dealing with the mother's abusive ex-lover who's reincarnated into her daughter's present boyfriend. She told the publication that she chose to associate with the project was because of the leading ladies and Priyanka's own bond with her mother.
