Priyanka Chopra defended length of her role in The Matrix Resurrections

Mumbai: Actor Priyanka Chopra has defended the length of her role in The Matrix Resurrections.

 

In the Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss-starrer, Priyanka plays the adult version of the exiled program Sati. The character originally featured as a child in The Matrix Revolutions, in 2003.

 

In a recent interview, Priyanka said that thinking of characters only in terms of lead roles is ‘myopic’.

 

“I think you are coming from something which a lot of people from the South Asian community ask me. ‘Oh, it’s a small role, it’s not a leading role. Why did you do it?’ (laughs) Because it’s The Matrix and I play an extremely pivotal part. Even when I picked my movies in Bollywood, I have always picked roles according to characters and they are not necessarily always the lead. The lead is Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Trinity in the last three movies. You’re not competing with that and I think it’s such a myopic and very small mentality to think that way.”
