Priyanka Chopra signs whopping Rs.25 crore deal!

It seems, Bollywood queen Priyanka Chopra has decided to make the US her second home. As the multi-talented actress, who had signed a one-year talent holding deal with ABC Studios, is off to Los Angeles for three months as she begins shooting for an as-yet undisclosed show.

But the big news here is that PC is reportedly getting Rs.25 crore for the ABC show! A leading portal also reports that for the duration of her stay there, she will stay at a luxurious, customised villa.

The portal quoted a source as saying, "A space is being designed to function as a temple area where PC can pray everyday. Several portraits of herself and her family will be put up. An interior designer has also noted down the kind of upholstery she likes."

However, as lavish as this deal sounds, the actress had, in the very recent past, exclusively told this writer that she feels women all over the world are underpaid. She said, "Women are underpaid everywhere. Even in Hollywood, compared to the men, women are underpaid. Very few women are such who get paid as much. I think we live in a male-dominated world. If you are vying for the same position, women just get paid less."

Priyanka said in a statement earlier, "I've been a longtime fan of ABC shows, and an admirer of how the network has changed the landscape of TV through the diversity of their lead characters. As an intrinsic creative, I am drawn to opportunities that test me in new ways. I'm honored by the opportunity to share my talent with a game-changing network, and I'm very much looking forward to participate in this new endeavor."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the network will either cast the 32-year-old actress in one of their fall 2015 shows or she'll develop her own starring vehicle.

Priyanka Chopra has had a good year in 2014 with masala entertainer Gunday bringing her moolah and biopic Mary Kom accolades. Her third single, a cover of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" also found its place on music charts.
