In the viral clip, Priyanka said, “I was excited to work with Sunny Deol. He is a senior actor and I respect him a lot as an actor. I was very reserved from Sunny. We would sit in different corners. We would just ‘Hello’ and ‘Hi’ and that’s all. Even when I would talk to him, I would look down and look up and look down while speaking to him. But once we got comfortable with each other, then it was all good."

'The Hero: Love Story' was not well-received at the box office and faced criticism. However, Chopra’s following film, 'Andaaz', opposite Akshay Kumar went on to become a major success and launched her career, earning her both, critical acclaim and commercial success.

After her successful career in Hindi cinema, Priyanka made the move to Hollywood, starting with the American TV show 'Quantico' in 2015. She has since appeared in films like 'Baywatch', 'Matrix: Revolutions', 'Love Again', and 'Citadel'. Priyanka recently finished filming her upcoming Hollywood project, 'The Bluff', and also has 'Head of State' lined up, which features John Cena and Idris Elba.
Sunny Deol is busy wrapping up his film Lahore 1947 backed by Aamir Khan and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
