Parineeti Chopra ready to turn producer

Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra is all set to take up a new role as a film producer.

In an interview, the Bollywood star spoke to Indian media about taking up production, similar to her famous cousin Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She called it the next step in the film industry, in a bid to promote more female-centric stories.

"I do want to produce, and I want to do that because I feel that many times there is a struggle for actresses to get the kind of budgets, stories or casting that they sometimes need for their project," Chopra said in the interview.
