In a notable development within the entertainment industry, Priyanka Chopra, celebrated for her success in the OTT series Citadel, is gearing up for a second installment of her significant role in the drama. The actress is expanding her repertoire with an upcoming period drama titled ‘The Bluff,’ set in the 1800s, supported by the Russo Brothers.
Recent speculation has arisen following a Reddit user’s post sharing a casting call screenshot for the movie, directed by Frank E Flowers. Interestingly, ‘The Bluff’ was originally slated to feature Zoe Saldana, recognized for her roles in ‘Avatar’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ when details about the film emerged a year ago.
The casting call specifically highlights the need for a 13-year-old character of half-Indian descent with cerebral palsy, encouraging performers with mobility disabilities to apply. The film’s logline has also been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the plot: “In the 1800s, a woman defends her family and village from a brutal pirate attack on their remote Caribbean Island as her past finally catches up with her.”
Reports indicate that Priyanka Chopra, known for her roles in Hollywood productions such as ‘Baywatch,’ ‘The Matrix Resurrections,’ and the romantic comedy ‘Love Again,’ is set to take on a starring role in this cinematic venture. Notably, she was recently engaged in filming ‘Head of State’ alongside John Cena and Idris Elba.
