What's Happening
Priyanka Chopra recently praised Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar for being excellent in performing action stunts.
She told India Today, "I love what Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar do. They're good at that. But, I don't think I have the courage to hang off a plane that's taking off or doing that kind of stuff."
Giving a shout out to the incredible stunt team on the sets of Heads of State, Priyanka said, "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. There are wires, mats and lots of them. So, it is the magic of the movies."
About Heads Of State
The story revolves around the US President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba), who get stranded in hostile territory. Priyanka plays an MI6 agent who is on a mission to save both these world leaders and bring down a global conspiracy.

Keerthy Suresh's Adorable Smile As She Greets Paparazzi Will Make You Say Aww
Keerthy Suresh's Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu is now streaming on Prime Video. Keerthy Suresh, who made her Bollywood debut alongside Varun Dhawan in Baby John, has been the talk of the town since then. The actress was spotted in Mumbai as she stepped out for an event. She wowed her followers by wearing a multicoloured ethnic wear exuding grace and charm like no other. The actress was seen getting out of her car and briefly stopping for the photographers around. Keerthy wore a stunning lehenga with an off-shoulder blouse. The patterns on both the shirt and blouse were similar but the colours on them differed giving it a contrasting look. She also wrapped a pink dupatta around her shoulders to complete the ensemble. For her glam look, Keerthy kept her hair open and went for minimal makeup. The highlight was surely the small bindi on her forehead. Keerthy Suresh's Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu is now streaming on Prime Video. Radhika Lavu produced the quirky social satire under the aegis of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, which is directed by Ani I.V. Sasi. The film's ensemble cast includes, Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru and Talluri Rameshwari. Set in the 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu takes place in the fictional South Indian village of Chitti Jayapuram, where the community faces an unexpected challenge: tremendous pressure on its burial infrastructure. What follows is a charmingly ludicrous yet emotionally evocative trip as the villagers handle the catastrophe with humour, resilience and compassion. Earlier, she hinted at working on another Hindi film as well. Keerthy told Hindustan Times, 'I have to balance between Hindi and all my other language films as they are all equally important to me. I might be signing another Hindi film this year. Additionally, I might be working on two other Telugu films and a Malayalam film. I also have a Telugu release and a Tamil release lined up for this year." Keerthy Suresh appeared in Baby John alongside Varun Dhawan and Wamiqa Gabbi. The actress is already in the limelight for her role in Revolver Rita, a female-led action thriller, and Akka, a Hindi film produced by Yash Raj Films. First Published:
