Priyanka Chopra is all set to bring more laughs to the big screen with her latest Hollywood project. This time, she’s reuniting with her Baywatch co-star Zac Efron for an exciting new comedy movie directed by Nicholas Stoller, known for films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors.
A Star-Studded Cast
The upcoming film is being made by Amazon MGM Studios and promises a strong comedy lineup. Along with Priyanka and Zac, the cast includes well-known actors like Michael Peña, Will Ferrell, Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner. Director Nicholas Stoller has also written the script himself and is working once again with the team from his recent movie You’re Cordially Invited.
The movie was earlier called Judgment Day, and it sounds like it’s going to be full of wild twists. The story focuses on a young man (played by Zac Efron) who has just been released from prison. He believes a judge (played by Will Ferrell) ruined his life with a wrong decision, so he takes a reality TV courtroom hostage in search of justice.
Priyanka’s Role is a Mystery (For Now)
While we know Priyanka is part of this fun ride, her role in the film is still a secret. The same goes for Michael Peña’s character. Fans will have to wait a little longer to find out what parts they’re playing. That said, Priyanka did confirm her involvement by sharing a teaser of the casting news on her Instagram story, which got her fans super excited.
Big Names Behind the Scenes
The film is being produced by Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alex Brown under Gloria Sanchez Productions, along with Nicholas Stoller’s own company, Stoller Global Solutions. With this talented team both in front of and behind the camera, the movie is shaping up to be a comedy hit.
What Else is Priyanka Working On?
Priyanka Chopra is definitely staying busy in both Bollywood and Hollywood. She recently finished filming a part of her upcoming movie with director SS Rajamouli in Odisha, India. This film, titled SSMB 29, also stars Mahesh Babu and is said to be a thrilling adventure similar to Indiana Jones. The story is written by Rajamouli’s father, Vijayendra Prasad, who is known for his work on blockbusters like Baahubali.
That’s not all — Priyanka has more exciting projects lined up.
