Michael B Jordan Recalls Meeting Jr NTR And Priyanka Chopra

Entertainment: Michael B Jordan opened up about his admiration for the Indian film industry and shared a few personal experiences with Bollywood stars.

In a recent interview with Zoom, the Black Panther actor opened up about his admiration for the Indian film industry and shared a few personal encounters with Bollywood stars. 

Recalling a past Oscars after-party, he said, "I see Jr NTR often. He loves sports, he loves basketball." Although Jordan didn't specify which edition of the Academy Awards he was referring to, it's widely believed he meant the 2023 ceremony, where SS Rajamouli's RRR gained international spotlight and Naatu Naatu secured a historic win. Jr NTR was present at the event and was even photographed with the coveted trophy.

Jordan also briefly mentioned meeting Priyanka Chopra during the same interaction, but kept details of their exchange minimal. When asked whether he would consider being a part of a Bollywood film, Jordan expressed enthusiasm, saying, "Definitely, I would love that. Would be great to do a Bollywood movie."

The actor also spoke about his forthcoming Warner Bros. film, set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi. Sinners has become one of the rare horror films to receive near-universal acclaim ahead of release, adding to the rising excitement around its premiere. Joining Jordan and Steinfeld in the cast are Jack O'Connell, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, and Miles Caton.

This film also marks Jordan's fifth project with Coogler, following the success of Creed, its sequel, and Black Panther.
