Priyanka Chopra in a still from Jai Gangaajal.
Actress Priyanka Chopra said that her role in Prakash Jha's
Jai Gangaajal helped her to portray her character of an FBI agent in
Quantico.
"Due to the kind of skill and work that was required for
Jai Gangaajal, I was ready for my role in
Quantico. In fact,
Quantico became easier because I was doing the film," said Priyanka.
Priyanka plays the role of a police officer in
Jai Gangaajal. In
Quantico, Priyanka plays the lead character of Alex Parrish, who becomes the FBI's prime suspect following a terrorist attack.

"I grew up in Uttar Pradesh. So, this role was easy for me.
Jai Gangaajal was the quickest film in my career. I was juggling between two big budget projects -
Bajirao Mastani and
Quantico at the same time," said Priyanka.
"As Priyanka was too busy with her schedule for
Bajirao Mastani and
Quantico, we had to do some quick work in her given schedule from the time she managed between the two," added Mr Jha.
Jai Gangaajal is scheduled to release on March 4, 2016.
