Priyanka Chopra dropped the trailer of her next Hollywood project -

A Kid Like Jake, which deals with the subject of modern day-parenting.
Twitter hailed Priyanka's
step forward in Hollywood and said: "I love the trailer. This is the kind of movie I love to watch. Be it a small role, it's gonna be a huge for PC." Other users are proud that Priyanka had planted India on the map of Hollywood: "Just seeing Priyanka Chopra's name flash on the trailer amongst such an incredible, powerful, stellar cast... makes me proud!"

This is a timely story about acceptance and truly seeing your loved ones as they are. In select theaters June 1st! Watch the trailer," she wrote.
The trailer of
A Kid Like Jake reveals the struggles encountered by a young couple as they discover the various difficulties of parenting Jake, a four-year-old child who like to dress up as princesses and loves fairy tales. As the Wheelers begin to have frequent altercations, they get constant guidance from their friends and loved ones in their journey as parents.
Directed by Silas Howard,
A Kid Like Jake is based on Daniel Pearle's play of the same name and releases on June 8. Meanwhile, Priyanka is also looking forward to the
third season of Quantico, which premieres on April 26.
