Anne Hathaway is on board with the idea of working with Priyanka Chopra. All that is left is a good script! The two-time Oscar-winning actress sat down for an exclusive chat with News18 to talk about her upcoming Amazon Prime Video film, The Idea of You, when she opened up about the Bollywood diva.
The two actresses have crossed paths a couple of times in the past owing to their association with the luxury brand Bulgari. Anne and Priyanka are among the global ambassadors for the brand. They met in 2022 with BLACKPINK member Lisa in Paris and then reunited in 2023 with Zendaya joining them. Although fans have loved their run-ins, we asked Anne if she and Priyanka have discussed the possibility of working together in a film.
The Devil Wears Prada star confessed that the conversation hasn’t happened yet but she is open to the idea. “We discussed a few things that night, that one hasn’t come up yet but what are we going to do, this is a great idea, how do we make this happen?” she wondered. When we suggested that they could star in a fun spy film, an excited Anne was on board immediately.
“I would love that clearly and now my brain is on fire. I’ll let you know when Priyanka and I have connected,” she said.
Anne was joined by her The Idea of You co-star Nicholas Galitzine. Anne plays the role of Solene, a single mother and an art curator, who accidentally meets a boy group member Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine. The duo, despite a massive age difference, fall head over heels and enjoy a sneaky summer romance. However, their relationship takes a turn after their romance goes public.
The official synopsis reads: “Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea of You centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.”
The film is directed by Michael Showalter and is based on Robinne Lee’s book on the same name. The film will release on Amazon Prime Video on May 2.
