With 'Baywatch' out in theatres now, Indian actress Priyanka Chopra can look forward to another project. The 'Quantico' actress plays villain Victoria Leeds in the film starring Dwayne Johnson, and Zac Efron. After years of playing the female lead, Chopra made her Hollywood debut with a negative character. She however, is no stranger to villainous roles.
“It's always fun playing the bad guy. Any actor around the world with concur with me that there is something so liberating about playing a bad guy because you don't get to do that in your real life. It is a lot more fun, I have to be honest,” PeeCee said. “I remember calling my mother and she laughed and said, 'Oh My God!' I guess, life is so short in a way as to who would have thought? So, it's really cool and especially to be playing the villain in this movie was more fun because I had to bring my originality to it,” she added.
In her FBI drama series 'Quantico', Priyanka plays lead Alex Parrish. However, the antagonistic characters are what appeal to her the most. “In 'Quantico', I beat people with my own hands and in 'Baywatch', I make other people do it because it's more powerful.” Talking about her success in the West, the actress said, “I don't know what I did differently. I only know that I was very true to myself whether it's in India or America. My choices have been very different. I didn't depend on what someone else had done or what I thought I should do. I just instinctively fought for the roles that I think I wanted to play.”
