Priyanka Chopra Jonas, V Join Andrew Scott on Short 'We Were Here'

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and V, the Tony-winning activist-playwright formerly known as Eve Ensler, have signed on as executive producers of Pranav Bhasin’s Indian short We Were Here. They join Andrew Scott in backing the project, which is Oscar-qualified and gearing up for awards season. The film, produced by Bhasin, marks a collaboration between Chopra Jonas’s team and Indian filmmaker Bhasin as they position the short for global recognition. Chopra Jonas has been expanding her production footprint internationally, and her involvement—along with V’s advocacy-focused background—signals continued support for cinema that engages social issues and regional storytelling. Andrew Scott’s participation further amplifies the project’s profile on the international circuit. Details about the short’s subject matter, shoot schedule, or release window were not disclosed in the press material, but the team confirmed the executive producers’ involvement as part of the project’s push toward festival screenings and potential Oscar contention. More updates are expected as producers unveil casting, locations, and a formal release plan for the Indian short. The announcement underscores a trend of high-profile international collaborations aimed at elevating Indian cinema on the global stage.
