Madhu Chopra Reveals The Inspiration Behind Venturing Into Regional Cinema | People News


Mumbai: Madhu Chopra, mother of global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas and mother-in-law of Nick Jonas, shared her insights on regional cinema and discussed about her venture into regional films. 

In one of her conversations, she was asked about the changing landscape of Indian cinema. While Bollywood has long been the focus, it is noted that South Indian films like Kantara and KGF have gained significant popularity.

She explained, “I used to watch regional films that had some beautiful stories. Malayalam and Bengali films had some beautiful stories. There is a bit of mainstream people who don’t get to see it, so we said, we have to give these people an opportunity.”

“And the second principle was every film of ours will be a debut like a debut screenwriter, director, debut actor. So these are the two things giving opportunity.” she further added.

On her personal front, Madhu Chopra is a mother of two. She is a trained ENT specialist from the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), Pune. After serving in the armed forces for over many years, she left her job to support her daughter Priyanka Chopra’s career.
