Priyanka Chopra might be flying high with her Hollywood projects but back home her mother Madhu believes the actress would be equally willing to star in regional cinema.
The "Bajirao Mastani" star has produced a Bhojpuri film along with her mother titled "Bam Bam Bol Raha Hai Kashi".
The film is produced under their banner Purple Pebble Pictures.
When asked if she would like Priyanka to star in a Bhojpuri film, Madhu told reporters, "If someone comes up with a good project, she has nothing against regional cinema. She has done Tamil and Telugu films. But some story should come to her which will turn into a good product."
Madhu said Priyanka believes in good work irrespective of the region or boundaries.
"She anyway has said that 'I do not belong to any particular region.' Whether it's anywhere in the world or India, she will do good projects."
The 33-year-old actress starred in the American TV series "Quantico" and is filming the Hollywood movie "Baywatch".
Madhu says she is extremely proud of her daughter, who was recently honoured with the Padma Shri.
"As her mother I am very proud of her. She has worked so hard and got recognition not only for herself, or her family but for the entire country. Everyone looks at her as a representative of India, that people like her are in the country. I am extremely proud of her."
"Bam Bam Bol Raha Hai Kashi" features Bhojpuri star Dinesh Lal Yadav aka Nirahua as the main lead.
