Indian-origin British filmmaker Gurinder Chadha is likely to team up with actress Priyanka Chopra for a movie.
“I am in talks with Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra, for something (referring to a film). I met her mother in Cannes and I told her I have great ideas. She said ‘yes, let’s work it out’,” Gurinder told PTI.
Gurinder, however, states she has not discussed the idea of a film with Priyanka yet.
“I will be going to America soon, so I will be meeting her (Priyanka) and will talk about the idea that I have.”
On whether the film with the Quantico actor will be an international project, Gurinder says, “She has been producing films and I hope it is international (the one that we do together). I can’t think of doing India-centric film alone as I am half British and Indian.”
There have been reports of her making a sequel to Bend It Like Beckham but Gurinder says she is instead contemplating to get the stage version of the 2002 hit movie to India.

“There is a project that I am working on with England’s support. It is about a boy and girl. It has the same feel as ‘Bend It Like Beckam’ but it is different. It does not have a background of football or sports. It is more about music. I will have the British-Asian perspective in the same way as ‘Bend It Like Beckham’,” she says.
Gurinder is currently in India to promote the Hindi version of her film Viceroy’s House, titled Partition: 1947. The film will release in India on August 18.
