Actor-producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Tuesday was announced as the chairperson of Jio MAMI Film Festival, almost four months after Deepika Padukone stepped down from the position. Priyanka said she is "proud" to be taking on the role of chairperson of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. I look forward to my dear friend Priyanka Chopra Jonas joining our team and leading the way for Jio MAMI to reach new heights. Last year, the organisers of Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival postponed its 22nd edition due to the coronavirus pandemic. Bolstering the creative think tank at the academy are three brilliant minds - Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Anjali Menon and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur.
