Safety First: Chopra Declines Dangerous Stunts
Global star Priyanka Chopra is currently making waves with two significant projects: the Hollywood movie ‘The Bluff’ and the Rajamouli-directed Telugu film ‘Varanasi’.

Laughing, she explained, “I am not a superhero; I know how to do my job. Why get unnecessarily injured?” Her director also prioritized her safety, requesting she not perform those scenes, allowing her to focus on acting while experts handled the action.

I am more eagerly awaiting this film than even the fans.” She is confident that this film will be a milestone, profoundly impressed by Rajamouli’s vision.
Known for her amazing action sequences in past projects like ‘Quantico’ and ‘Citadel’, Priyanka continues to navigate successfully between Hollywood and Indian projects without compromising her commitments.
