Priyanka Chopra spills beans during a discussion with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke at the Southwest Film Festival. Priyanka Chopra co-starred with Richard Madden in her new action drama ‘Citadel’ where she was at par with the male co-actor's payment.
Priyanka Chopra said, “I might get into trouble for [saying this], depends on who’s watching. I’ve been working in the entertainment industry for 22 years, and I have done almost 70-plus features and two TV shows. But when I did Citadel, it was the first time in my career that I had pay parity. I’m laughing about this, but it’s kind of nuts."
She added, “I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease with which Amazon Studios said, ‘That’s what you deserve, you are co-leads, that’s just fair,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right, it’s fair.’ And I wonder: Did that happen because there are very few female decision-makers in Hollywood? Would that have been a different conversation if a woman didn’t make that decision? Those are not conversations that happened very easily."
Jennifer Salke replied she couldn’t speak about what happened if she wasn’t in charge; still, she chose to praise her executive team. She mentioned having 'great male and female allies.'
Apart from the web series ‘Citadel,’ Priyanka also has ‘Love Again’ alongside Sam Heughan and Celine Dion. It is Written and helmed by James C Strouse. It is an English-language remake of the 2016 German film ‘SMS fur Dich,’ based on Sofie Cramer's novel.
