Amy loves Priyanka
In the interview, the actor, who is voicing the emotion Joy in the film, praised Priyanka.
She was asked which Bollywood star she thinks could enter the Inside Out universe, following which she asked for suggestions. When she was told about Priyanka, she was instantly on board.
“Actually, I know it is not really an emotion, but confidence is a very funny idea for another emotion down the line. Someone who is really cocky, that would be really funny. Priyanka has a lot to be confident about,” she said.
Meanwhile, actor Ananya Panday has already joined the universe in India. The actor has voiced the character Riley, the teenage girl around whom the film revolves, for the Hindi version of the film.
