Bollywood star Randeep Hooda is all praise for his upcoming film co-star John Cena and actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas after watching their latest release, 'Heads of State'. The action-comedy, which also features Idris Elba, has been drawing applause for its high-energy sequences and star-studded cast.

Randeep, who is set to appear alongside Cena in the forthcoming action-thriller 'Matchbox', took to social media to commend the cast's performances in the newly released film.

Randeep Calls Cena 'An Absolute Riot'

Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, the Jaat actor wrote, “Just watched Heads of State — what a blast! Huge shoutout to my co-star and a gem 💎 @JohnCena, you were an absolute riot — loved every minute.” He didn’t stop there. Randeep also praised Priyanka Chopra for her commanding screen presence, adding, “@priyankachopra, you lit up the screen and were the real action star of the action comedy.”

He rounded off his note with appreciation for the entire cast: “@idriselba, sublime as ever.. cheers to the whole team for a super fun film! 👏🎬 #HeadsOfState”

Matchbox: Randeep and Cena Gear Up for Action

Earlier this year, Hooda shot for 'Matchbox' in Budapest under the direction of Extraction helmer Sam Hargrave. The film not only brings Hooda and Cena together on screen for the first time but also reunites the Indian actor with the action-heavy team behind Extraction, the Netflix hit in which Randeep impressed global audiences.

With 'Matchbox', the Indian star continues to expand his international filmography in high-octane style. His recent performance as the antagonist Ranatunga in Jaat, where he faced off against Sunny Deol, reportedly earned him ₹6 crore—underscoring his rising market value.
