Meanwhile, Priyanka revealed that she had a chat with actor Varun Dhawan, who will star in the Indian adaptation of the series, while they met during the NMACC gala.
At the press conference, when Richard was asked whether he would be interested in doing a film here in Bollywood if he were offered a role, the actor, who is known for Game of Thrones, instantly responded by saying, "Absolutely, India makes more movies than any other country in the world and has an incredible amount of talent. I would be honoured to work here. I would like to do something comedic because I have not done it."
Later, during the same event, Priyanka was asked whether she had any advice for Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who will star in the Indian adaptation of Citadel. Priyanka replied, "I don't think so I can give any advice as they are both so accomplished actors in their way. There is nothing I can say. I met Varun recently at the NMACC event and he was telling me how the shoot is going and how exciting it is. There are some really cool threads that connect the other installments and our installments. You will find it out after you start watching it and realise how we are all connected to each other."
Priyanka recently made a glamorous appearance at the NMACC gala in Mumbai with singer-husband Nick Jonas. On the second day of the star-studded event, she also shared the stage with her Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Ranveer Singh for a dance performance to the song Gallan Goodiyaan. Priyanka was last seen in the sci-fi film The Matrix Resurrections along with Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lambert Wilson. After Citadel, Priyanka will next be seen in the romantic drama Love Again opposite Sam Heughan.
