Actress-producer Priyanka Chopra says that she started her production with small and regional films as she thought some films and subjects needed her support.
 
"Big personalities produce Hindi films. I am a small producer. I thought that there are some films and subjects which needed my help and support," said Priyanka on Tuesday at the success party of her production "Ventilator" that has also received a National Film Award.
 
Priyanka attended the success bash along with entire cast and crew of the film including Ashutosh Gowariker and the film's director, Rajesh Mapuskar. While interacting with the media, she asserted that she always wanted to produce content-driven films.
