PeeCee too was overwhelmed talking about her commendable journey in the West. “The kind of films that came to me were very interesting because of ‘Quantico‘. You can’t just arrive there and say I want to work in movies. People need to come to you with films.” She added that she has always tried to take the offbeat track to build her career.
She also talked about playing the villain Victoria Leeds in ‘Baywatch‘. “I have played a villain in Hindi films before but I wanted Victoria to be very different. I wanted Victoria to be very very feminine and yet very cruel.”
The former beauty queen, who has been catching up with her close friends and family for the past few days, shared how she managed to break not just one but many stereotypes in the West and managed to gain a firm foothold in the diverse industry. “There has been a stereotype not only in India but also in the West about the lack of understanding of Hindi films. When I walk down on the sets, I want them there to understand that I know my job quite well, which the Hindi film Industry has taught me over the years.”
The second trailer of ‘Baywatch’, which was unveiled earlier today, introduces us to her character at length for the first time. Directed by Seth Gordon, ‘Baywatch’ also stars Zac Efron, Kelly Rohrbach, Alexandra Daddario. The film is set to release on May 25.
