While many details about the plot are being kept confidential, the storyline of the upcoming film, Heads of State, has been described as a blend of the popular movies Air Force One and Midnight Run. The cameras for the film are scheduled to start rolling in May 2023. The film is being directed by Ilya Naishuller and the script has been written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, based on an initial draft penned by Harrison Query.
In a recent interview, the show’s director, Anthony Russo, lauded Chopra’s ability to lead the action in the show, revealing that her character is the driving force behind much of the action, with Madden’s character following in her footsteps. “This is a genre that traditionally has a male lead. And so, what was interesting to us was upending that. Priyanka is really gifted physically. She is a badass on camera and she kicks a lot of ass in the show,” Russo stated.
Apart from Citadel, the Bajirao Mastani star will appear in Love Again, an upcoming American comedy-drama film written and directed by James Strouse. In 2021, she featured in the Oscar-nominated movie, The White Tiger.
Chopra’s production company, Purple Pebble Productions, has a first-look film and TV agreement with Amazon Studios and has collaborated with Paramount Global to produce original content focused on diversity and inclusion for their platform. Clearly, the Dostana actor is ready to conquer the world and pursue all her dreams, and she’s doing an excellent job.
