I was sceptical to sign Quantico: Priyanka

Mumbai: American TV series “Quantico” is a big break for Priyanka Chopra in an international scene but the actress had second thoughts about signing the show as she felt it would require a long commitment. The 33-year-old actress, who bagged the show during the shooting of “Gunday”, had her kitty full with back-to-back releases like “Mary Kom”, “Dil Dhadakne Do” and two upcoming projects “Bajirao Mastani” and “Jai Gangaajal”. “I was a little sceptical initially because it’s a long commitment. I had to balance television and Hindi films. The script was incredible and I just couldn’t say no to it,” Priyanka said in an exclusive interview over phone. The show revolves around a group of young Federal Bureau of Investigation recruits, who are training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Priyanka plays the lead character of Alex Parrish, who becomes the FBI’s prime suspect.     PTI
