Priyanka Chopra Jonas is currently gearing up for her upcoming Hollywood release, Heads Of State. The actress, who has a huge global fan following, recently talked about how the makers of the film have recreated the Tomatina festival in France. She expressed her feelings about shooting in the country and shared her experience of filming the Tomatina festival. Priyanka said that she was initially dreading shooting it, but later enjoyed the process because of the technology used for it.

In an interview with Extra TV, Priyanka Chopra said, “I had a great time shooting in France. We recreated the Tomatina festival in the south of France. I was really dreading it, like rotten tomatoes, squashed tomatoes and six days of filming. It was not my idea of fun but it was all special effects. This jelly that was put on my skin as I was laying down on set, this is what happens on a big budget. I was like this is great. There were no rotten tomatoes on me. It was amazing. That’s what I love about filmmaking is that we get to recreate what looks completely and entirely real with the magic of the crew that are about to do it and are technically so amazing in doing it.”
