Priyanka Chopra Jonas's 'onto the next' film with Russell Crowe
Mumbai, Aug 7
Global headturner Priyanka Chopra Jonas has shared that she's "onto the next" film with Hollywood star Russell Crowe.
Priyanka shared a screenshot of the news about her sharing screen space with Crowe. It mentioned that the upcoming film is a science fiction action thriller, which is titled "Bluefly".
The details shared by Priyanka also read that the film will be helmed by the "Predators" director Nimrod Antal and is written by David Frigerio, William Eubank and Carlyle Eubank.
As per the synopsis shared, it read: "Deep in the Congo, a grieving UN translator is pulled onto a black-ops mission to recover a downed aircraft that isn't supposed to exist."
"As a Special Operations team pushes upriver through militia-held territory, the recovery becomes a descent - and the closer they get to the craft, the clearer it becomes that they were never meant to bring it home."
The Indian actress captioned the post: "Onto the next."
This will be the first time Priyanka will be seen working with Crowe, who has been feted with an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and two Golden Globes.
Crowe began acting in Australia and had his breakthrough role in Romper Stomper in 1992. He gained international recognition in the late 1990s for his starring roles in L.A. Confidential and The Insider.
He shot to wider stardom for playing the title role of Gladiator and for portraying real-life mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. in A Beautiful Mind.
Talking about Priyanka, she will next be seen in Varanasi by S. S. Rajamouli. The film stars Mahesh Babu in a dual role alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The plot follows the adventures of Rudhra as the city of Varanasi faces the impending arrival of an asteroid, with the narrative spanning across several timelines.

Honestly, Priyanka's career trajectory is inspiring. But I hope she also does more Indian films like Varanasi with Rajamouli. We need her back on our screens in desi avatars too! But yes, all the best for Bluefly.
Science fiction action thriller set in Congo? Sounds interesting! Priyanka has come a long way since her Miss World days. Russell Crowe is a powerhouse actor. This is going to be a treat for cinema lovers. 🎬
Great to see an Indian actress consistently getting big international projects. The concept of "Bluefly" sounds gripping - a black-ops mission in Congo with a sci-fi twist. Priyanka's choice of scripts has been quite smart lately.
Waiting for Varanasi with Rajamouli is also exciting, but this international project seems really cool. Congo, black-ops, mysterious aircraft... sounds very Hollywood! All the best to Priyanka, she deserves all the success. 🙌
Russell Crowe is a phenomenal actor, and Priyanka has proven her versatility time and again. This pairing sounds promising. Just hoping the script does justice to both their talents. Looking forward to it!
