The script was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, from draft by Harrison Query.

As for other upcoming projects, fans can next watch Priyanka alongside Richard Madden in Prime Video’s Citadel.

The duo were seen together as they attended the screening of Citadel in Mumbai, on Monday.

The Indian actress wowed in a plunging gold gown as she held hands with her dapper co-star, 36, at the Asia Pacific press conference of the spy-thriller series.

The new science fiction series, Citadel, drops its first two episodes on Prime on April 28, followed by a new episode released weekly on Fridays.

Citadel marks the first time Priyanka will be receiving equal pay as the male lead, with the actress previously revealing she got the same fee as Madden.

It comes after Priyanka opened up about her decision to leave Bollywood, admitting she had ‘beef’ with people in the industry.

The actress started out as a Bollywood star but moved to America in 2015 when she took on a leading role in Quantico.

Discussing her decision to move to Hollywood, the mother-of-one confessed that while she enjoyed working on Bollywood projects she struggled with the people.

Speaking on Dax Shephard’s Armchair Expert podcast she confessed: ‘I’ve never said this so I’m going to say it because you’ll make me feel safe.’

‘I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.’

The former Miss World made her Bollywood debut in 2003’s The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, with her breakout role coming the following year in romantic thriller Aitraaz, which she followed with her roles in Fashion, Barfi! and Mary Kom.

She ended up making a few more Bollywood films before she signed a talent holding deal with ABC Studios and was cast in the American thriller series Quantico.

The series premiered in 2015 on ABC, with Priyanka making history as the first South Asian to headline an American network drama series.

Her Hollywood film debut came in Baywatch where she starred opposite Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.

While she still takes on the occasional Bollywood project, her base is in Hollywood where she lives with husband Nick Jonas, 30, and their one-year-old daughter Malti.
