Mumbai: Actress Priyanka Chopra, a trendsetter for the younger generation, is set to extend her star power to a campaign against gender-based violence, #StandWithHer.
Executive producers Mindy Kaling and Dev Patel are joining the actress for this campaign, according to a report in Variety.
Inspired by director Nisha Pahuja’s Oscar-nominated documentary ‘To Kill a Tiger’, this campaign will be launched in New York on Wednesday.
“Gender-based violence is a global crisis, yet too often, it remains hidden in the shadows. I am honoured to support the #StandWithHer campaign, inspired by Nisha’s powerful documentary To Kill a Tiger, to help drive meaningful change,” Priyanka said about the campaign.
‘To Kill a Tiger’ revolves around a farmer from Jharkhand, who fights for justice after his 13-year-old daughter is sexually assaulted by three men.
Despite death threats and challenges, the victim’s family succeeds in getting a landmark judgement in the case.
The documentary will be screened across the US including cities like New York, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Washington DC.
On the work front, Priyanka was last seen in the American film ‘Love Again’ in 2023. She will be next seen in ‘Heads of State’ and ‘The Bluff’.
She is currently shooting for SS Rajamouli’s yet-to-be titled film, alongside Mahesh Babu in Odisha.
