Priyanka Chopra on the difference between Indian, American film industries

Priyanka Chopra Jonas compares the relaxed pace of Indian filmmaking with the structured, high-pressure schedule of Hollywood productions.

"In America, we are very specific about when we shoot what and how... there's a lot more stress. - Priyanka Chopra Jonas"

Mumbai, March 7

Global head-turner Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who has tasted success in both Hollywood and Bollywood, has discussed the differences between the two industries, noting that the pace of production varies across the world.

The 43-year-old star, who made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with the spy thriller The Hero: Love Story of a Spy and stepped into Hollywood with the 2015 thriller series Quantico, shared that America is specific about when and how to shoot.

"In America, we are very specific about when we shoot what and how. You have to make the day on most productions, and you have a shot breakdown of how many shots you have to take. So there's a lot more stress in making sure that you make the day," Priyanka told The Hollywood Reporter, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said that when it comes to Indian films, the pace tends to be a bit more relaxed.

"On Indian films, it's a little bit more languid. If we don't make the day, it's fine. We'll get it tomorrow. We'll also shoot one set piece, and then we'll take a break for 10 or 20 days. Then we'll come back for the next set piece, and that is why we can do multiple movies at the same time.

The actress went on to add: "In Hollywood, you take three months to shoot everything together. I don't know how it logistically makes sense, but it works. Both industries have their own ways that work."

The actress, who has been feted with a National Award and a Padma Shri, also appreciates that her Indian fans have continued to support her after she moved to America.

The actress, who is married to singer Nick Jonas, said: "I have really been blessed with incredible supporters and well-wishers when it comes to audiences who've liked my movies over the last 25 years. They have also supported me in very dark times, and they will take up fights for me and defend me."

"That really makes you feel like you've moved someone with your work, and that's a really powerful feeling. So I do keep them in my heart," said Priyanka, who is known for her powerful performances in films such as Fashion, Mary Kom, The Sky Is Pink, Barfi!, Dil Dhadakne Do, Bajirao Mastani and 7 Khoon Maaf.

She added: "Whenever I'm making tough decisions and trying to figure out what to do next, having that support is very, very helpful."

So proud of Priyanka! She represents India on a global stage with such grace. It's true, our film industry is like a big family. The schedules are chaotic but there's a warmth to it. Glad she hasn't forgotten her roots and acknowledges her Indian fans. ❤️

Interesting perspective. As someone who's worked on sets in both countries, the "make the day" pressure in Hollywood is immense. The Indian system sounds more forgiving, but I wonder if that affects the overall quality and consistency of the final product?

The part about shooting one set piece and taking a 20-day break is so accurate! That's why our stars can sign 5 films at once. But is it really efficient? Sometimes I feel this relaxed approach means we compromise on script continuity and actor availability.

Her point about logistics is fascinating. Hollywood's model is built around actor contracts and union rules that mandate a concentrated shoot. The Indian model seems to prioritize flexibility. Both have produced incredible cinema, so they're clearly doing something right.

Love her for always giving credit to her Indian fans. We did stand by her through everything! It's nice to see a star who remembers where she came from. More power to you, PC! 🎬✨
