Priyanka Chopra recently gave fans a raw glimpse into the physical toll of filming her latest Hollywood action movie, “The Bluff.” The actress shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos on Instagram, showcasing the bruises and scars she endured during the intense shoot.
In one of the first images, Priyanka’s face and neck are smeared with fake blood, likely taken after a high-octane action scene. “When you do action movies, it is really glamorous. Another day at the office,” she quipped in a video, highlighting the gritty reality behind the glitz.
Another photo in the series features the shadows of Priyanka and her daughter, Malti Marie, standing together. Malti, dressed in a white outfit and oversized glasses, looks adorable in another snap. Priyanka also shared moments with her girl gang from the film, looking stunning despite the demanding shoot.
The final pictures focus on the real injuries Priyanka sustained, including cuts and bruises on her leg and shoulder. “Lately. #thebluff @agbofilms @amazonprime @therussobrothers #frankeflowers,” she captioned the post, acknowledging the film’s director Frank E. Flowers and producers, the Russo brothers.
Earlier, Priyanka had posted a picture of a bruise on her neck, captioning it, “Professional hazards at my job #latestacquisition #thebluff #stunts.” The Bluff, set in the 19th-century Caribbean, follows a former female pirate, played by Priyanka, who must protect her family when her past catches up with her.
Priyanka’s dedication to her role has not gone unnoticed. Fans praised her commitment, with one commenting, “Our action star, our action queen. Please take care of yourself; we get worried.” Another fan wrote, “She’s like ‘yeah, that’s my life.’ Can’t wait to see this film.”
The Bluff is produced by Priyanka’s Citadel partners, the Russo brothers, known for their work on Marvel films. The movie also stars Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and Vedanten Naidoo. Principal photography began in June and is expected to wrap up in three months.
Priyanka has been sharing multiple images from her time in Australia, where the film is being shot. Meanwhile, her husband, Nick Jonas, has been busy with his own projects, including filming the musical comedy “Power Ballad” in Dublin, Ireland.
Despite the physical challenges, Priyanka remains enthusiastic about her work. She recently shared an adorable snap of her daughter Malti sitting on top of her, captioning it, “Her ❤️ Miss u @nickjonas.” Nick replied, “My whole world,” showing their strong family bond.
Priyanka’s career continues to flourish. She was last seen in the romantic comedy “Love Again” and will next appear in “Heads of State” alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. She is also set to star in Farhan Akhtar’s “Jee Le Zara” with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.
The actress has had a long and diverse career, spanning Bollywood, Hollywood, music, and even writing a New York Times bestselling memoir, “Unfinished.” She started her journey in Bollywood with “The Hero: Love Story of a Spy” in 2003 and won the Best Actress award for her role in the critically acclaimed “Fashion” in 2008.
Priyanka recently spoke about achieving equal pay for the first time in her 23-year career for the series “Citadel.” She credited Jennifer Salke, the head of film and TV for Amazon Prime, for making it possible. “Thank God. 23 years later,” she said, reflecting on the milestone.
As Priyanka continues to push boundaries and take on challenging roles, her fans eagerly await the release of “The Bluff” and her other upcoming projects.
