Priyanka Chopra spills the beans on sci-fi film Bluefly (Image credit: Instagram) After making her big-screen debut with Baywatch in 2017, Priyanka Chopra has played a variety of roles in Hollywood. Since then, she has made her mark with shows like the spy thriller Citadel and the action films Heads of State (2025) and The Bluff (2026). However, her next film, Bluefly, has the actress attempting several different African languages, as she will play a UN interpreter in the Nimród Antal film. Co-starring Russell Crowe, the sci-fi film has already begun production in Queensland, Australia. Here's what Priyanka had to say about her latest Hollywood project. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Priyanka Chopra shared that she was excited to try something new after playing action roles for a long period in Hollywood.
