Gorgeous actress Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to drop a major statement. The actress announced that she will now be the Chairperson of the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, which was earlier managed by Deepika Padukone. In over a minute-long video, Priyanka stated that she is thrilled to join forces with talented people to bring Indian cinema to the world.
Priyanka Chopra added, "It is with that thought I am proud to take on a new role… as Chairperson of the Jio Mami Film Festival, India’s leading film festival. Working alongside an amazing team of like-minded individuals, we’re reimagining the festival with a new creative vision that is attuned to the radical changes the world has witnessed in the last two years. I’m very excited about this new chapter for the festival as well as for me. See you at the movies… we are now OPEN!"
The film festival, which is widely held over one week, shifted base online due to the pandemic and Covid-19 restrictions last year. This year, too, the film festival is unlikely to return to the big screen. Instead, the festival will begin in October 21 and go on till March 2022 with several different and new things being planned this year.
