Adnan Siddiqui schools Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid South Asian. Indian film actress Priyanka Chopra<\/a> recently congratulated Oscar-winning Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy after it was revealed that she will be directing a Star Wars film.<\/p>\n

Chinoy will be the first woman and person of colour set to helm a Star Wars movie which will be set after the events of 2019\u2019s Rise of Skywalker.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst person of colour and first woman to direct a \u2018Star Wars\u2019 film\u2026and she\u2019s South Asian!! What a historic moment @sharmeenobaidchinoy. So so proud of you my friend! May the force be with you!\u201d Priyanka wrote on her Instagram story.<\/p>\n

However, this did not sit well with Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui who schooled the Indian actress for calling Chinoy a “South Asian” instead of Pakistani.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor told Chorpa that this was exactly like she would identify herself as an Indian.<\/p>\n

“With due respect, Priyanka Chopra, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani first just to brush up your knowledge. Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian,” Siddiqui wrote.<\/p>\n

He also attached a screenshot of Chopra’s Instagram story where she commended Chinoy.<\/p>\n

Chinoy’s Star Wars movie will feature actor Daisy Ridley as the main character of Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order. Her movie will be scripted by writer Steven Knight \u2014 who also penned the scripts of Peaky Blinders and Spencer.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy at Star Wars Celebration in London last week. However, the project is still untitled.<\/p>\n

Confirming the news, Chinoy said that she was very excited to be directing the next Star Wars movie and bringing Ridley back to the galaxy.<\/p>\n

“I have always been attracted to the hero’s journey and the world definitely needs more heroes!” she wrote on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n

“The blueprints of the heroes we see on screen are rooted in reality \u2014 I\u2019ve spent my life meeting real-life heroes, who have overcome the most oppressive empires and battled impossible odds and that to me is the heart of Star Wars…which is why I was attracted to the promise of a new Jedi Order \u2026And why I’m particularly excited about being immersed inside a Jedi Academy with a powerful Jedi Master,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
