Priyanka Chopra was set to act with Chris Pratt in an upcoming Universal Studios film 'Cowboy Ninja Viking'.

Separately, Priyanka spoke about breaking glass ceilings in Hollywood
Priyanka's big-ticket movie may have been shelved, but recently the actress spoke about the kind of representation she wants. She said Indians were boxed to characters like Apu from 'The Simpsons' or nerds in Hollywood, but she wanted more than that. We hope 'Cowboy Ninja Viking' finds its path again and Priyanka gets a chance to do what she wants to.
