On the heels of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ and Nick Jonas’ first wedding anniversary, Amazon Studios has given a green light to a new unscripted series executive produced by the famous couple, inspired by the Indian pre-wedding tradition of the sangeet, for Prime Video. The Sangeet ceremony takes place the night before the wedding that brings family and friends together for a fun-filled evening of dance and music. The tradition played an important role in the couple's own wedding last December.
The desi girl of Bollywood took to Instagram to reveal the news of their unscripted project, the casting of which is is underway. Explaining what led the couple to take up such a project, Priyanka wrote, "...at our wedding, both of our families came together to perform a sangeet. A performance (dance-off competition style) that celebrated our love story, one of the most unforgettable moments from a very special time in our lives."
Tagging the singing sensation, Nick Jonas, she further continued "Nick and I are excited to announce a new, currently untitled project (we're still working on it!!) that celebrates the love and magic that comes from friends and family that join together through music and dance the night before a wedding. It's our #SangeetProject .Happy one-year anniversary baby. It's our first together."
"We want to share this amazing experience with couples set to be wed. SO...if you're engaged to be married in the spring or summer next year (2020), we want to be part of the celebration and help you make it even more spectacular. #representationmatters #crosspollination #culturesblending", the actor wrote. The show, casting for which is already underway, will be filmed in 2020 with participants driving the creative vision for their respective ceremonies.
Amazon describes the show as "a celebration of the love, marriage and magic that ensues when friends and family come together through music and dance the evening before the wedding. The engaged couples featured throughout will hail from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and locations. Each episode will follow an engaged couple along with their wedding party, family and friends, as they not only prepare for the wedding itself, but also rehearse for what will be an epic performance with the help of a team of celebrity choreographers, stylists and creative directors."
