Priyanka Chopra who turned producer with her&nbsp; production house Purple Pebble Pictures, speaking to scribes shared her experiences during the initial days in Bollywood.\r\nShe said&nbsp; \"I didn\'t know why I was gravitating towards filmmakers and stories that were maybe marginalised or told that they\'re not what is expected. As I\'m talking about it, I think it does come from the fact that when I joined the industry, I didn\'t have it. I was trying to navigate this crazy movie industry by myself with my parents, who were doctors and who also had no idea about the business. And I kind of felt really lost.&rdquo;\r\nSharing her experience as the producer,she said&nbsp; \"As a producer, I\'m empathetic, and our ethos is a lot around wanting to give opportunities to newer filmmakers or filmmakers that want to achieve something that they haven\'t been able to or are kind of hitting a wall somewhere. My production side kind of comes from what personally moves me,\"&nbsp;

About Prabhas,she said &ldquo;Apparently, the director had already shown him a few of my shots. So when I introduced myself, he said that he'd already seen some clips of my work and found them interesting. Although he is very shy, I made sure to tell him that I am a huge fan of his film Mirchi and that I have watched it at least 25 times. That was our initial conversation, and I hope I get to talk to him more as the shoot progresses.&rdquo;
