Mumbai, Jun 20: According to Anushka Sharma, what Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are doing on foreign shores is amazing, but she is personally not working towards Hollywood projects.

Both Priyanka and Deepika have bagged plum projects in the West. Priyanka will be seen as the main antagonist in Dwayne Johnson's Baywatch which is her Hollywood debut. Deepika is making her debut in Hollywood with XXX The Return of Xander Cage.

When asked if she has a similar plan, Anushka said, "Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting. I don't want to go and play a cliched Indian girl."

"The cliches are there, so if I do something, it has to be interesting. What Priyanka and Deepika are doing is amazing... More power to them. They are representing our country in a way and they are making more opportunities for other people. It's awesome, but I am not working towards it," she added.

The NH10 star, who will soon be seen in Sultan, said sharing the screen space with Salman Khan in the film was intimidating.

"He is not the kind of a person who will go out of the way to make you feel comfortable. I get intimated to work with Salman and there is no doubt about it. He is the same way with everyone and I really like this quality about him. He is very honest," she said.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sultan is slated to release on July 8.
