Former Miss World and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra says that Indian films are being appreciated globally and the actors are receiving offers from abroad including Hollywood.

"The Indian film industry has broken barriers and has gone international. The commercial collections and audience base abroad have grown", Priyanka told reporters in Bangalore. The actress said she had received "some offers" from Hollywood but said she would accept it only "if something excited" her.

"I would rather prefer to be the king here than be the Jack of all trades. There is a lot for me to achieve here," Priyanka, who has six films planned for 2008, said.

Thinking Of You

Some more of quotable quotes from the former Miss World:

When asked what sets her apart from other actresses: "I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production. So when people in the know talk, I willingly listen. Also, I'm not scared of working 20 hours a day."

"I got into the movies by accident. When I got an offer, I thought let's try this too. Everything in my life has happened by trial and error. I didn't even think I would win the Miss India title so where's the question of thinking I'd come this far." (July 2007)

Flow Like The Water

When an offer to do an international project came her way, Priyanka just did not find it suitable enough to say yes. It is understood that Bollywood Actress Priyanka Chopra turned down an offer from Ashok Amritraj to do a cross cultural love story. The movie was to be an international project. But it appears, though the project was international, the lineage was not. Insiders say that the budget of the film was far below what is spent by Indian Filmmakers while making their own movies. So there was no point in working on a shoe string budget and not get noticed at all.
