During her interaction, Chopra recalled her connection to The Matrix universe and watching it first as a 16-year-old. The actress also revealed how she landed up with the role of Sati in the film.
“I think the Matrix trilogy changed cinema. I remember when the first Matrix came out so clearly. I was 16. I remember how it shifted culture, in terms of the questions and themes it treaded upon in terms of consciousness and reality,” Priyanka was quoted saying in a clip released on the Facebook page of Red Table Talk.
Further talking about how she was cast as Sati, she recalled being in India for a shoot when her agent confirmed that director Lana Wachowski was interested in meeting her in San Francisco for a role in her upcoming film. Revealing how she reacted to the same, “I drove to the airport. I was like, ‘Sure!’ Whatever it takes to get the opportunity to work with all of you lot, it’s just such a privilege and an honor.”
Chopra also talked about being nervous to film a particular scene along with lead stars Keanu and Carrie-Anne Moss. Priyanka stated that she motivated herself by saying, “I remember my hands sweating. I told myself that 16-year-old me would never forgive myself if I didn’t get my words right in front of all of you.”
