Priyanka Chopra Jonas says that the people who downplay her role in “The Matrix Resurrections” based on her time on screen in the film have a “myopic” and “small mindset”.
Chopra Jonas stars as Sati, an exiled program, in the film directed by Lana Wachowski with Keanu Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity.
During a recent interview on Asian Sunday TV, the actor was asked why he took part, as he was not a protagonist.
” I think you come from something that a lot of people in the South Asian community ask me. ‘The role is small, it is not protagonist, why did you do it?’ Because it’s “The Matrix” and I play an extremely key role. “Even when I chose my Bollywood movies, I always chose roles based on the characters and not always the protagonists. Starring Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Trinity in the last three films. “You do not compete with that and I think it is so short-sighted and very small mentality to think like that”, answered Chopra Jonas. In recent years, the 39-year-old actress has gained Hollywood acclaim with her television work showing “Quantico” and movies, including “Baywatch” and “Isn’t It Romantic”.
Back in her homeland in Bollywood, she is considered one of the most flexible singers with films such as “Fashion”, “Barfi”, “Don” series, “Kaminey”, “Bajirao Mastani” to her credit. Chopra Jonas said she believes every actor in a movie contributes to the story. “This (‘The Matrix’) is a collection of incredible actors and I think by asking this question, you are really diminishing the grandeur of being part of a playground playing with so many incredible people,” he added.
Chopra Jonas’ upcoming films include the rom-com “Text For You” directed by Jim Strouse, the Amazon thriller “Citadel” series produced by Russo Brothers and “Sangeet”, a series without a co-production script with her husband.
He will also make a film with Amazon Studios about the life of Ma Anand Sheela, the former assistant to the late godman Osho Rajneesh.
