Priyanka Chopra's role in The Matrix Resurrections

Earlier, the childhood part of Sati was played by actress Tanveer K. Atwal. Priyanka will be taking the role forward as the grown-up version. Sati is described, by the makers, as a young woman with wisdom that belies her years and an ability to see the truth, no matter how murky the waters.
What is Matrix's Sati- the exile program
From the previous movies of The Matrix franchise, we know that Sati was an exile that was constructed without intent by programs Rama-Kandra and Kamala. The Oracle, who safeguarded Sati after she was smuggled into the Matrix, considered that the kid would eventually have a considerable effect on the future of both humans and the Machines.
Ideally, Sati would have been planned for deletion if the Machines discovered that she existed. Nonetheless, after conferring with the Oracle on how to protect their daughter, Rama-Kandra and Kamala proposed a pact with the Merovingian to smuggle her into the Matrix by presenting the termination code for the Oracle's outer shell. The Oracle vowed to care for the kid after the programs exited the Matrix. The Oracle agreed as she acknowledged that Sati was vital.
Sati's connection to Keanu Reeves' Neo
The character of Neo is essayed by Keanu Reeves. Sati was the first to speak to Neo when he woke up in Mobil Avenue. She clarifies to him where he was and how they cannot exit this zone unless the Trainman qualifies them to. Soon after Rama-Kandra calls Sati to him so that she doesn't trouble Neo any further. Later, Rama-Kandra & Kamala explain to him about Sati and how she was formed out of love and without a goal. They also tell him that Mobil Avenue was the singular mode to bring Sati into the Matrix without the Machines learning about it.
Due to unformidable circumstances, Sati and her family have to leave Neo's side. Neo escapes Mobil Avenue and meets Sati again beginning a new series of chapters and adventures in their lives.
