Priyanka Chopra to reunite with Zac Efron for comedy film

Priyanka Chopra will reunite with her Baywatch co-star Zac Efron for Nicholas Stoller's untitled comedy film.

Michael Pena, the 'Cesar Chavez' actor has also joined the lead cast of the film, which is being produced under the collaboration of Amazon MGM Studios, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

Priyanka announced her role in the movie via a snap of a news report of The Hollywood Reporter on her Instagram story.

According to the outlet, the actress will appear alongside Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner in the film. Helming the film from his own script, Stoller reunites with the studio behind his recent feature 'You're Cordially Invited' that starred Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon in the lead roles.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film, which was previously titled Judgment Day, focuses on a young convict (Efron) who gets out of prison and takes an unscripted TV courtroom hostage because he is convinced that the judge (Ferrell) delivered a ruling that destroyed his life.

The details of the movie are still kept under wraps.

Meanwhile, Priyanka's forthcoming films include Amazon MGM titles 'The Bluff' from director Frank E Flowers and 'Heads of State' starring WWE wrestler turned actor John Cena.

The actress was earlier seen in the action series 'Citadel' with actor Richard Madden. However, Season 2 of this highly awaited series has now reportedly been postponed until spring 2026.
