Production[edit]

Chopra's other 2003 film Andaaz was supposed to be her debut Bollywood film, but The Hero: Love Story of a Spy was releasing a month before and thus becoming her debut film.^[1]^[2]
Zinta said she enjoyed doing the film as it gave her a chance to see the mountain tops, a first in her life, and she was happy to be associated with the film which she thought had "a terrific script".^[3] The actress further revealed that she identified with her character, saying "I come from Himachal Pradesh and I know about life there. I just had to relearn some more details with the help of my director."^[3] Chopra said that being a part of a big film like this seemed like a good option for her, when asked about the reason for choosing the film, which she thought was "a very emotional subject."^[4]

Priyanka Chopra

... that the 2003 spy thriller The Hero: Love Story of a Spy was Priyanka Chopra's first Bollywood film? Source: Bollywood Hungama

Article was promoted to GA on the day of the day of its nomination and I see no DYK-related article issues of concern. The hook is interesting, cited inline and verified in the source. As a possible alternative hook, perhaps a hook about the "wanted to make a James Bond-like film but didn't have the budget to do so" angle could also be proposed? A QPQ is still needed.

Thanks for the QPQ. Just waiting for that review to be completed and a tick be given and this will be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:34, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
