Priyanka Chopra Jonas says individuals who trivialise her function in The Matrix Resurrections on the idea of her display screen time within the movie have a “myopic” and “small mentality”.

During a latest interview with Asian Sunday TV, the actor was requested the explanation for taking the half, contemplating it wasn’t a lead character.
“I think you are coming from something which a lot of people from the South Asian community ask me. ‘It’s a small role, it’s not a leading role, why did you do it?’ Because it’s ‘The Matrix’ and I play an extremely pivotal part.”
“Even when I picked my movies in Bollywood, I have always picked roles according to characters and they are not necessarily always the lead. The lead is Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Trinity in the last three movies. You’re not competing with that and I think it’s such a myopic and very small mentality to think that way,” Chopra Jonas replied.
In latest years, the 39-year-old actor has gained prominence in Hollywood along with her work within the TV present Quantico and movies, together with Baywatch and Isn’t It Romantic.
Back dwelling in Bollywood, she is considered one of the crucial versatile performers with movies reminiscent of Fashion, Barfi, Don collection, Kaminey, Bajirao Mastani to her credit score.
Chopra Jonas mentioned it’s her perception that each actor on board for a movie contributes to the story.
