Priyanka Chopra will soon produce a web series. Her production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, has announced plans to venture into digitial entertainment.
Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra, who is the co-owner of the production house told IANS, “The newly approved GST is affecting the entertaintment business. Though we have films lined up for release in the coming months, I think digital is the future. So, we have plans to produce digital entertainment like web series.”
“The talk is at an initial stage and it’s too early to announce anything, but yes we have the interest to get into that zone. High taxation on entertainment is quite an unfair factor for our audience, filmmakers and theatre owners,” Chopra added.

“The regional film business is getting affected because there are local tax and GST, so double taxes right? Until we are getting more clarity on things, we might just slow down a little. Because at the end of the day, filmmaking is a business,” she said.

Their Marathi film, Kay Re Rascala, is scheduled to hit screens on July 14
