Priyanka does not want to go the Kangana way! Why?

Actress Kangana Ranaut has been on a promotional spree for Simran and during media interviews she has spoken about building an eco-system around her, so that she can be involved in all aspects of film-making, not just acting. Kangana wants to write, act, produce and direct movies. Kangana had told in an interview to a website, “I feel I can do a lot as a creative person. I can build material that is unusual, and has a fresh take. I want to direct and write and see how that adds to my growth. If that doesn’t work out, then at least I’ll realize this is my maximum growth.”

She had also said in an interview to a famous tabloid, “It's not that difficult to be self-sufficient. I am halfway there. And I'll see myself till the very end. Fortunately, I have the infrastructure right now and I'll create my own eco-system. I am here to stay. This industry is full of prejudices. I have come up the hard way and I'll challenge those notions come what may. I hope I always have this courage and I also hope that I have the strength to admit to my follies when I go wrong.”

When Priyanka Chopra was questioned about Kangana's remarks, during a latest interview, she told that she is happy collaborating and does not want to be a part of every detail of the project. When questioned if she would like to see a project through, she revealed, “I don’t think so, I am doing that as a producer. Everything I do is with instinct and experience of working with the most prolific filmmakers in India. What I know best is what I’d like to do and I’d like to work with experts in their field who know what they’re doing and collaborate. I am not someone who feels the need “SAB KUCH MUJHE KARNA HAI, MERA NAAM SAB JAGAH HONA CHAHIYE” Film-making is not rocket science, it’s just great people coming together wanting to tell a story and having fun while doing it and that’s the environment I have created at Purple Pebble and that’s how I work as an actor.”

“If I have an opinion I will talk to the producer-director, but I am not someone who will impose their decision on someone,” she added.

Priyanka agreed with Kangana’s statement about directors having a fragile ego. She said, “It’s not just the directors, people have fragile egos in the entertainment industry. I have not had that. Most of the directors I have worked with have been amazing collaborators. They have given me the respect, as I don’t step on toes. I am someone who will suggest something, if they find it sensible, they take it. If you don’t, we have a logical conversation.I am very zen and peaceful like that. I am not a fighter- not combative. I don’t like it, that’s not what film-making should be. I can’t work in an environment which is toxic.”


She concluded by saying, “I am just not honest with a boxing glove, I am just honest, nicely”
