This years-long journey has led to Citadel, Prime Video’s flashy big-budget new series that debuts on April 28. She eventually met with project executive producers Joe and Anthony Russo-the filmmaking brothers behind Marvel blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame -was blown away by their “audaciousness” and sealed the deal. There is, perhaps, no one better suited to help lead a massive project like this, considering that the 40-year-old actor started her career as (and remains) a major force in her home country of India before transitioning to Hollywood and finding global stardom. What if they could create an international spy thriller about highly skilled agents who genuinely have the world’s best interests at heart that would then lead to countless spinoffs set and produced around the world following different spies working in their home countries? Just one thing went through Chopra Jonas’ mind as she listened to her friend’s vision for the series: “I want to do it.”

While they were catching up, Salke told Chopra Jonas about a ridiculously ambitious idea for a new television franchise. When Priyanka Chopra Jonas met her friend Jennifer Salke, a long-time TV executive who had recently joined Amazon Studios, back in 2018 for lunch, she didn’t know how pivotal that meeting would turn out to be.
