Priyanka Chopra makes rare comment about Akshay Kumar: ‘I don't think I have the courage to…'
In a conversation with India Today, Priyanka acknowledged the skills of these actors, who are often seen doing high-octane action scenes, even without stunt doubles. 'I love what Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar do. They're really good at that,' she said. However, she revealed that she hesitates in doing such sequences herself. 'But, I don't think I have the courage to hang off a plane that's taking off or doing that kind of stuff.'

'But, I do love being a part of big mega movies. We do stand on the shoulders of so many people – there's a massive stunt team that made me do all the things that I did,' the actor added, highlighting her desire to feature in large-scale films. Priyanka Chopra also opened up about the technical elements that are behind such action scenes, stating, 'There are wires, mats and lots of it. So, it is the magic of the movies.'

It was nice to have Akshay's name taken here, like to have people from your country being appreciated in a big place like Hollywood, which is great.

Both Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar are popular for performing their own action stunts in their films. Be it hanging off planes or making high jumps from one building's roof to another, the actors never fail to impress fans with their stunts.
Heads of State premiered on Amazon Prime Video from July 2. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the American action comedy film features Priyanka Chopra, Idris Elba, and John Cena in lead roles, along with Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Carla Gugino in pivotal roles. In the movie, Priyanka essays the role of MI6 agent Noel Bisset, who is on a mission to depose a global conspiracy.
An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Heads Of State, read, 'Heads of State is written by the folks who originally conceptualised that mega-budget disaster, before it was creatively overhauled by the Russo brothers. The first thing that the new Prime Video boss did after getting the job was to cancel that train wreck of a franchise, which has also spawned two spin-offs. Chopra played a butt-kicking secret agent in that show, as she does in Heads of State. Heads of State has the unmistakable sheen of a streaming project shot entirely against green screens. It feels too curated, both visually and conceptually.'

Kylie Page death: Reason of adult actor's death REVEALED, cops rule out foul play
Kylie Page, the American adult film actor who was found dead in her Los Angeles home on June 25 at 28 years of age, reportedly died of a drug overdose. The police said they found 'sexual photos', but have ruled out foul play. She was found deceased in her LA apartment by law enforcement officers who were responding to a welfare check call from one of her friends. Los Angeles law enforcement officials reportedly found fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in Kylie Page's room, according to the latest TMZ report. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid commonly prescribed for severe cancer-related pain and is estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Addicts reportedly resort to fentanyl when heroin or oxycodone no longer delivers the desired high. The adult star's death is being investigated as a drug overdose, law enforcement sources told TMZ. The source added that no foul play is suspected at this stage. However, no official cause of Kylie Page's death has yet been given, said the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner. The officials also found photos, many of a sexual nature, featuring Kylie alongside various men were scattered around the room. Born as Kylie Pylant, Kylie Page shot to fame with her feature in the 2017 Netflix mini-series on the pornography industry – Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On. In the show, Kylie candidly opened up about her experiences and struggles, including substance use. Since her debut in the adult film industry in 2016, Kylie has acted in around 200 adult films and worked with major adult entertainment companies, including Brazzers. A fundraiser campaign has been raised by her family to facilitate the transport of Kylie Page's mortal remains to her hometown in Tulsa, Oklahoma and cover funeral expenses. 'She was a daughter who loved deeply, a sister who never let go, and a friend who always showed up,' the GoFundMe post read.
