A fully fledged sitcom based on the life of Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit Nene is soon to hit the American television screens. Global icon Priyanka Chopra is all set to produce the show and this probably is the first time that the story of an Indian will make its way to the international screen in the form of a show.
Talking about how the whole idea came as a pleasant to her, Madhuri recently asserted, “I was pleasantly surprised in the summer of 2016 when Sri (Rao) said he wanted to do a series inspired by my life in America. As Ram (her husband) and I chatted with Sri, the story evolved and Mark Gordon Productions came on board, wanting to produce it.” Talking about how she feels about PeeCee coming on board, she added, “Bringing on Priyanka was perfect in that she had experience with the landscape.”
The show was subsequently pitched and picked up by the popular ABC network and is being developed for the American and international markets.
