The actress, known for her powerful performances across genres, has left fans floored yet again in the newly released Hollywood film Heads of State. Streaming now on Prime Video, the high-octane action comedy also stars Hollywood heavyweights John Cena and Idris Elba in leading roles.
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film features Chopra as MI6 officer Noel Bisset, tasked with protecting the President of the United States and the British Prime Minister, played by Cena and Elba, respectively. While the male leads deliver their signature comedic chemistry, it's Chopra's sharp action skills and commanding presence that have taken social media by storm.
