Speaking to Something Bigger Show, Madhu shared, “When she decided to work in the Hollywood, when she got that opportunity, I told her, “You are here at the peak of your career and you want to go to US and start struggling from bottom up so we should have something to fall back here. So don’t just abandon everything and go. If you will have something here, you will feel confident and won’t be worried. That’s how we started Purple Pebble Productions. It was more like our plan B.”

Priyanka Chopra soon established herself in Hollywood and decided to use her production house as a platform for several talented newcomers. Madhu shared in the interview, “But when she did well there, Purple Pebble Pictures also flourished. She thinks very differently. Our production house only makes regional films. She had the platform and voice, so she did it. She has decided to give opportunity to newcomers and all our films has a newcomer, be it a writer, director or actor. She had it hard, so she wants to give a platform to others.”
Priyanka produced movies like The Sky Is Pink and The White Tiger under her banner Purple Pebble Pictures. She also starred in these films. While The Sky Is Pink is Priyanka’s last Bollywood venture, she teamed up with Aadarsh Gourav and Rajkummar Rao in The White Tiger, which had a direct-to-OTT release on Netflix.
