Last year, our Desi Girl, Priyanka Chopra made her Hollywood debut with Dwayne Johnson ’s commercial movie, Baywatch and now, she has chosen a completely different role for her second film. Priyanka, who is now a well-known name in the West as well, will be next seen in Silas Howard’s drama film, A Kid Like Jake. The film deals with a really sensitive topic and PeeCee plays a small yet important role in it. While Priyanka had limited screen space in the movie, the film features Jim Parsons and Claire Danes in the lead.
In the trailer, it is shown that a couple (Claire and Jim) living in Brooklyn has a four-year-old son who is interested in princess and fairy tales. This leads to a confusion between the couple as they are forced to rethink their roles as parents and spouses. The kid has a lot of questions but the parents are not able to answer them all.
The couple is shown by their kid Jake's kindergarten teacher (Octavia Spencer) that his gender-nonconforming play may be more than a phase which leads to a tension between the two. Though Priyanka didn’t have much to do in the trailer, it looks beautiful and really a sensitive story that’s needed to be told.
