Yes, you read that right! Priyanka Chopra Jonas & Nick Jonas's sangeet inspired untitled series is in the works which has been executive produced by the famous couple. The project will be an unscripted series. Priyanka said in a statement that "We re-watched the video of our Sangeet last week on our first anniversary, and the togetherness of our family and friends during this event still sparks the same warmth and excitement that it did just over a year ago at our wedding."
The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary this month and they have announced this big news already! We are super excited and can't wait to watch the show! Amazon Studios announced today that it has given a green signal to the Untitled Priyanka Chopra Jonas / Nick Jonas Sangeet Project.
Well for the foreigners, sangeet is not a known concept so it will be totally grand and new for them but for us Indians, sangeet is a staple especially in North India and it is a fun function for us all which brings families and friends together.
They have begun looking for the perfect cast and the filing is set to take place in 2020 with participants. The series is co-produced by Amazon Studios, Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz’s Alfred Street Industries, Chopra Jonas’ Purple Pebble Pictures, and Jonas’ Image 32.
As per the statement, "the engaged couples will hail from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and locations. Each episode will follow an engaged couple along with their wedding party, family, and friends, as they not only prepare for the wedding itself, but also rehearse for what will be an epic performance with the help of a team of celebrity choreographers, stylists, and creative directors."
Priyanka said: "The Sangeet is a centuries-old Indian wedding tradition, that not only celebrates the union of two people, but also signifies the introduction and bonding of two families coming together in a marriage.
“The days leading up to our Sangeet were some of the most special, memorable moments of the weekend. Bringing the concept of this musical celebration to the mainstream in a new way, through couples setting out on one of the most exciting journeys of their life, is an idea that we are proud to bring to life with Amazon," Nick Jonas added.
“The sangeet is such a beautiful tradition and we’re excited to partner with Priyanka and Nick to honor it through this series and find couples from all different backgrounds that are excited to bring their families together through the universal language of song and dance,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios.
Priyanka has a lot on her plate when it comes to work and accolades. She just a few days back received a career tribute at the Marrakesh International Film Festival. She also received the UNICEF Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award for her work with women and children as a Goodwill Ambassador.
Priyanka took to her Instagram as well to share the news. She wrote: "At our wedding, both of our families came together to perform a sangeet. A performance (dance-off competition style) that celebrated our love story, one of the most unforgettable moments from a very special time in our lives. @nickjonas and I are excited to announce a new, currently untitled project (we’re still working on it!!) that celebrates the love and magic that comes from friends and family that join together through music and dance the night before a wedding. It’s our #SangeetProject ❤️❤️ Happy one year anniversary baby. It’s our first together. We want to share this amazing experience with couples set to be wed. SO...if you're engaged to be married in the spring or summer next year (2020), we want to be part of the celebration and help you make it even more spectacular. #representationmatters #crosspollination #culturesblending
