This year Priyanka Chopra's Marathi production film 'Ventilator' has won three awards at the 64th National Film Awards. "I am not a negative person. I'd like to think that finally regional cinema is getting the credit it deserves because there are too many incredible storytellers and filmmakers there. As they get opportunities, and producers back them, regional films are getting more exposure and, of course, they will do well,"

PeeCee on winning for her film said. "I am extremely excited that Indian cinema -- whether it is regional or Hindi -- has grown leaps and bounds and it is making such incredible films. I'd like to focus more on that than dividing us," added by Priyanka.

"My reason for setting up this company was to give opportunities where opportunities were denied, or give opportunities where they were not provided... And we only do that based on content and merit," Priyanka further said.

The actress stated, "We're a small production company and we are taking baby steps. I formed this company with the thought that I want to make films for new talent, new directors and actors, because I didn't have that when I joined the business as an actor. So, I wanted to be able to provide that. "I am so happy that this is Rajesh's first Marathi film and he has won an award, and the film has won three. I am excited and encouraged that content is king, eventually. As a company, we keep making films that are content-heavy and this is a great encouragement."

As PeeCee is juggling between US and India, on which she said, "I am extremely hands-on. I am a control freak. Nothing moves without me knowing, especially creatively. It does get difficult as I've to get someone to fly down the hard drives of the films to me... or I've to sit in the middle of the night and talk to the directors when the edit is happening. "I guess because I am an actor and producer, I am more creatively involved. I see the posters to the font to edit... I am involved with everything to add to the fun and pain of everyone I am working with," she added in last.
