Global icon Priyanka Chopra is teaming up with American actor Sienna Miller for Anthony Chen`s next directorial venture, based on Shilpi Somaya Gowda`s novel `Secret Daughter`.
As per Deadline, Amazon Studios is negotiating a feature deal. Shruti Ganguly is set to adapt the novel for the upcoming movie. The novel tells a global story through the eyes of two women interconnected by a child.
Somer is a newly married physician in San Francisco who makes the devastating discovery that she will never be able to have children. The same year in India, a poor mother makes the heartbreaking choice to save her newborn daughter`s life by giving her away. Kavita will be haunted by that decision every moment for the rest of her life. Asha is the child who is adopted out of a Mumbai orphanage and binds the destinies of the two women.
The novel follows both families, invisibly connected until Asha`s journey of self-discovery leads her back to India. Sunset Lane Media`s David Beaubaire and Vanessa Lanci will produce along with Priyanka`s and Mary Rohlich`s Purple Pebble Pictures, Miller and Tori Cook.
Apart from the movie adaptation of `Secret Daughter`, Priyanka has several other projects in the pipeline, including the Amazon Prime Video series `Citadel`, romantic drama `Text For You`, action film `Ending Things`, and the Bollywood film `Jee Le Zaraa`, which stars Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
