Priyanka Chopra's Heads Of State Gets Nominated For An Emmy In The Outstanding Television Movie Category

Priyanka Chopra has added another feather to her cap as her film, Heads of State, has been nominated for an Emmy Award. Co-starring John Cena and Idris Elba, the action-comedy film earned a nomination for Outstanding Television Movie at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Heads Of State, directed by Ilya Naishuller, features a whirlwind of political chaos and buddy-comedy madness. The story follows U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) and British Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), whose not-so-secret rivalry is forced to take a backseat when Air Force One is shot down over enemy territory.

With MI6 Agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) tasked with their protection, the three must work together to stop a global conspiracy threatening

the free world. Also featuring Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles, the film blends political satire with pulse-pounding action and laugh-out-loud moments.

News18’s Heads of State Review

News18 had given the film 3/5 stars. Our review read, “For Indian audiences, Priyanka Chopra’s role as MI6 agent Noel Bisset is a huge reason to hit play, and thankfully, the payoff is real… Noel Bisset isn’t a token sidekick or love interest; she’s a fully realised, no-nonsense operative who literally saves the two most powerful men on the planet.”

“Chopra, seasoned with past action hits like Don, Mary Kom, Quantico, and Citadel, delivers a physically convincing and charismatic performance that makes the spy fantasy feel tangible. It’s particularly refreshing to see a South Asian woman in a leading action role that doesn’t reduce her to a cliché but empowers her as the smartest person in the room and often, the strongest,” our review also mentioned.

Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra is busy with her Indian cinema comeback with SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi.  This project marks her first collaboration with the acclaimed director and also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film will reportedly feature elements of time-travel and mythology. It was confirmed that Mahesh Babu will be seen as Lord Ram, and it is speculated that Prithviraj Sukumaran could appear as Kumbhkaran.
