Priyanka Chopra couldn’t be more excited for you to see Quantico

Priyanka Chopra’s new American TV show is all set to premiere in the US ahead of its October 3 India premiere and the actor is aware of the great buzz that’s building and can’t wait for the world to see it.

Priyanka Chopra is hoping for Quantico to be her big break on the international scene but the actor had second thoughts about signing the show as she felt it would require a long commitment.

The 33-year-old actor, who bagged the show during the shooting of Gunday, had her kitty full with back-to-back releases like Mary Kom, Dil Dhadakne Do and two upcoming projects Bajirao Mastani and Jai Gangaajal.

“I was a little sceptical initially because it’s a long commitment. I had to balance television and Hindi films. The script was incredible and I just couldn’t say no to it,” Priyanka told PTI in an exclusive interview over phone.

“I was shooting Gunday when Kelly Lee, who is into casting, came to meet me. Then I had to go to LA and read the 25 pilots that they had picked for me and tell them the ones I liked. I am happy that I got my first pick, which was Quantico,” the actor said.

Priyanka plays the lead character of Alex Parrish, who becomes the FBI’s prime suspect.

The former Miss World feels the viewers will like the mystery aspect of the series. “The audience would discover with me the various twists and turns,” she said.

Priyanka said her team and the people in the US have been warm to her.

“They are all amazing people. I am having a great time shooting for the show. They are treating me well,” she said.

The Fashion star cannot wait the audience to watch Quantico, which goes on air on Sunday in the US.

It will premiere in India on October 3 on Star World and Star World Premiere HD.

“I am excited as well as nervous. I am waiting to see the reaction of people. I am hoping people will like it. I have worked hard for this show. I just hope the audience loves it as much as I do,” Priyanka said.
