Citadel marks the first time that Priyanka will receive the same salary as the male lead, with the actress previously revealing that she was paid the same rate as Richard Madden.
It comes after Priyanka opened up about her decision to leave Bollywood, admitting she had ‘beef’ with people in the industry.
The actress started out as a Bollywood star in the 2000s, but moved to America in 2015 when she took on a leading role in Quantico.
Speaking about her decision to move to Hollywood, the mother-of-one confessed that while she enjoyed working on Bollywood projects, she struggled with people.
Speaking on Dax Shephard’s Armchair Expert podcast, she confessed: “I’ve never said this, so I’ll say it because you’ll make me feel safe.”
“I was being cornered in the industry. There were people who didn’t elect me, I had problems with people, I’m not good at playing that game, so I was tired of politics and said I needed a break.
The former Miss World made her Bollywood debut in 2003 in The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, and her breakout role came the following year in romantic thriller Aitraaz, who followed it up with roles in Fashion, Barfi! and Mary Kom.

While working on the 2011 drama 7 Khoon Maaf, Priyanka was approached about starting a music career after recording a demo.
Priyanka explained: ‘This music thing gave me the chance to go to another part of the world, not crave the movies I didn’t want to see, but would need to chat with certain clubs and cliques of people.

He continued to release singles, but soon realized that acting was his true calling.
The actress confessed: “I was completely caught up in this music thing and I thought, ‘I’m a pop star now, forget about this movie thing,’ I quickly realized I was much better at my day job.”
She ended up doing a few more Bollywood movies before signing a talent deal with ABC Studios and was cast in the American thriller series Quantico.
