Priyanka Chopra Preparing for Lead in Quantico

Priyanka Chopra will be playing the lead role in ABC’s new show Quantico. She plays Alex Parrish who gets involved in a terrorist conspiracy. PeeCee is nervous, proud and excited for the upcoming show.

She said, “You see, for Americans, India’s only about the bindi, mehndi and saris. Come on, we are much more than just that. I was very adamant that if I had to do something like this, it better be good. I didn’t want them to cast me as the typical Indian princess or a tribal girl. I made it very clear to them in the first meeting and they created an amazing character for the show”.

Quantico falls under the ‘drama thriller’ category. PeeCee added, “There’s college, friendships, conspiracy, manipulations and everything else in Quantico. It’s like Homeland meets Gossip Girl. People who have watched these shows will understand why I am saying this. With each season, we will have different stories to tell. Like the mystery behind this season will be revealed in the finale itself”. The show will be aired on September 27 in the U.S.
