She said, ¡°I might get into trouble for saying this, depends on who¡¯s watching. I¡¯ve been working in the entertainment industry for now 22 years, and I have done almost 70-plus features and two TV shows. But when I did Citadel, it was the first time in my career that I had pay parity. I¡¯m laughing about this, but it¡¯s kind of nuts.¡±
The actor added, ¡°I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease with which Amazon Studios said, ¡®That¡¯s what you deserve, you are co-leads, that¡¯s just fair,¡¯ and I was like, ¡®You¡¯re right, it¡¯s fair.¡±
About the trailer:
It begins with a captivating clip of Peecee wearing red! Priyanka glares in amazement as Richard Madden describes how there was an explosion while he was onboard a train. During several sequences filled with excitement, Priyanka claims to have already encountered Richard¡ªin a dream, though!
In view of the unfortunate events in Greece, where a passenger train and a freight train collided, resulting in at least 38 fatalities and several injuries, the producers decided to delay the publication of the trailer, according to sources.
While speaking about the project, she told Vanity Fair, ¡°I¡¯m a goofball, so what was the biggest challenge for me was to be really cool. This was physically demanding, emotionally demanding, but it¡¯s such a fun show to be a part of."
