Amaal Mallik reacts to Priyanka Chopra’s podcast: ‘Truth about campism, bootlicking & powerplay within #Bollywood..’ | Hindi Movie News
Reacting to a news article covering Priyanka Chopra’s version of the truth, singer-composer Amaal Mallik wrote on Twitter, “Well it’s something that I face on a daily basis. When fans ask me why I don’t do as many Bollywood films? Now you know 😉 The truth about campism, bootlicking & powerplay within #Bollywood needs to come out more often…See what they tried to do to this amazing woman…”
During a conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast ‘Armchair Expert’, Priyanka Chopra revealed why she started looking for work in the US, saying, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”
The ‘Fashion’ actor marked her singing debut with the single ‘In My City’ in 2012, also featuring American rapper Will.i.am.
The song was a hit and Priyanka garnered a lot of appreciation for her singing. Post that, she released another single, ‘Exotic’, also featuring Cuban-American rapper Pitbull in 2013, which went on to become a chartbuster.
She also released a cover version of the song ‘I Can’t make you love me’ in 2014.
“So when this music thing came I was like ‘fu** it I’am going to America’,” Priyanka said in the podcast.
Amaal Mallik is the voice behind popular numbers such as ‘O Khuda’, ‘Kaun Tujhe’, ‘Buddhu Sa Mann’.
