Priyanka Chopra errs, calls RRR a Tamil film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas made several revelations about the cliques and colourism in Bollywood at the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard. The actor also seems to have made a faux pas when she referred to SS Rajamouli’s RRR as a Tamil film. Starring Ram Charan and Junior NTR, RRR, is a film originally shot in the Telugu language.

During the conversation, Dax was comparing Bollywood to be like the 50s of Hollywood when a few stars and big studios controlled everything. To which, Priyanka agreed.

She said, "I don't think you are far from it. I think that was what it was, big studios, five actors, big movies will be made by them; but the game is changed so much now. First of all, it's streaming. It has given access to so many people who are making content."

She added, “Bollywood has evolved in such an incredible way. You have the big mainstream action and the love story and the dancing…” When Dax interrupted her saying, “RRR…”, Priyanka quickly “corrected”  him saying, “That’s a Tamil movie by the way. It’s like big, mega, blockbuster Tamil which does all of those… it’s like our Avengers.”

Priyanka’s podcast with Dax has been gaining traction after in it the actor spoke about being “cornered” in Bollywood because she “had beef with certain people.”
