Priyanka Chopra Jonas will star in the next film by acclaimed director S.S. Rajamouli, who is known for the global hit RRR. The untitled movie will also feature Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu in a leading role. Many expect this to be one of Indian cinema’s most exciting collaborations.
This project is a major milestone for Indian cinema, uniting two influential figures. Rajamouli is known for his storytelling that has changed Indian filmmaking, while Chopra Jonas continues to connect Hollywood and Bollywood through her international career.
Reports say the film will be released across India and is in talks with U.S. distributor Variance for an international release. This points to a global theatrical rollout, much like the success of RRR.
Rajamouli made history with RRR (2022), becoming the first Indian filmmaker to win an Oscar for Best Original Song with “Naatu Naatu.” The film earned over $166 million worldwide and showed that India can create big, emotional blockbusters that appeal to global audiences.
The new film with Chopra Jonas and Mahesh Babu is expected to mix action, drama, and mythic storytelling. This continues Rajamouli’s style of making stories that connect with people everywhere while staying true to Indian culture.
Chopra Jonas recently starred in Amazon Prime Video’s action-comedy Heads of State with Idris Elba and John Cena. The film became the fourth most-watched Amazon MGM Studios movie ever, with over 75 million viewers worldwide.
Her next project is the action-drama The Bluff, based on a true story, which she is also producing through her company Purple Pebble Pictures. The company has a first-look deal with Amazon Studios to create films and series that highlight diverse talent and cross-cultural stories from India and beyond.
Chopra Jonas will also return for Season 2 of Prime Video’s sci-fi spy thriller Citadel. Besides acting, she is active as a producer, recently working on the Oscar-nominated documentary To Kill a Tiger and Born Hungry, a feature film about resilience and identity that received critical praise.
Industry insiders believe Rajamouli’s new film could be a turning point for Indian cinema’s growth worldwide, thanks to its star cast and the director’s reputation for creating films that appeal to many people.
With Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s global reach and Rajamouli’s talent, audiences can look forward to a big, creative film that combines emotional stories with stunning visuals. This is a signature of Rajamouli’s work.
More information about the film’s title, plot, and release date is expected in early 2026.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is represented by UTA, A-Series, and Matrix.
