Priyanka Chopra was once supposed to work with Philip Lee

Hollywood producer Philip Lee, who is behind films like “The Dark Knight” and “The Revenant”, has revealed that Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra was once supposed to work with him in his project which unfortunately did not happen.

Lee, who was here to attend the 10^th edition of NFDC Film Bazaar, said he met the 34-year-old actress years before she found international fame.

“I met Priyanka Chopra eight years ago because she could be the actress of the movie which I tried to make that time.  She was not that famous at the time. She was Miss World. I had a chat with her and she was fantastic,” Lee told PTI.

The producer said he does not know much about the work of the “Bajirao Mastani” star but he feels the actress has become more popular now.

“I don’t know much about her movies but I think she is more popular nowadays. She’s a really great actress,” Lee said.

Priyanka made her international acting debut with ABC’s TV series “Quantico”. She will make her Hollywood film debut with “Baywatch” alongside Hollywood heavy-hitters including Dwayne Johnson.
