Priyanka Chopra is currently celebrating the hat trick that was scored by 'Ventilator' at the National Film Awards. Directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, 'Ventilator' won the National awards for Best Director, Best Editing and Best Sound Mixing. Priyanka Chopra, who was the producer of the film, along with her mum Madhu Chopra, celebrated the victory in the United States of America.


And now, after having produced films in Bhojpuri, Marathi, Punjabi, Sikkimese and Konkani under her banner of Purple Pebble Pictures, Priyanka is all set to make a foray into Bengali cinema. According to reports, two Bengali titles — Brishtir Oppekhyayy (Waiting For The Rains) and Bus Stop E Keu Nei (No One Is At The Bus Stop) have been registered under the name of Purple Pebble Pictures.

Talking about the same, Dr Madhu Chopra said, "Madhu says, “PPP has always been at the forefront of promoting regional films. Being a producer, Priyanka wanted good stories to reach audiences, especially films depicting local culture and ethnicity for global viewership. The details for the Bengali film are being finalised and the movie will go on floors soon.” While it is not sure if PeeCee will make a cameo in any of the films, both the films will feature local actors and a couple of Bollywood actors of Bengali origin.
