Priyanka Chopra is set to reunite with her Baywatch co-star Zac Efron in an exciting new untitled comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller, according to reports. Joining Chopra and Efron in this project is actor Michael Peña, all of whom are part of a lead cast under the production collaboration of Amazon MGM Studios.

Priyanka shared her excitement about the film on her Instagram story by posting a snapshot of the news from The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to her and Efron, the film will feature a talented ensemble cast that includes Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner. This film marks Stoller’s return to the studio that produced his recent feature, You’re Cordially Invited, which starred Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon.

Previously referred to as Judgment Day, the comedy focuses on a young convict, played by Efron, who, after serving time in prison, takes an unscripted courtroom hostage. His drastic actions stem from his belief that a ruling made by the judge, portrayed by Ferrell, drastically ruined his life.

In addition to this eagerly anticipated film, Priyanka Chopra has several other projects in the pipeline. She is set to star in The Bluff, directed by Frank E. Flowers, as well as Heads of State, which will feature WWE superstar-turned-actor John Cena. Priyanka’s recent work includes the action series Citadel, where she starred alongside Richard Madden. However, the release of Season 2 of this highly awaited series has now been reported to be delayed until spring 2026.

According to ANI, Amazon MGM is currently unsatisfied with the existing version of Citadel’s second season, prompting a delay and putting all related spinoff series on hold indefinitely. The company has yet to announce an official return date for the series, leaving fans eager for updates.

Meanwhile, Priyanka is also rumoured to be collaborating on a new untitled film with acclaimed director SS Rajamouli, featuring Mahesh Babu in the lead role. As she continues to explore new creative avenues, it’s clear that Chopra’s career is thriving with exciting opportunities on the horizon.

On April 15, the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced that the Indian cricket team will embark on a tour to Bangladesh for a six-match white-ball series in August 2025. This tour will include three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), which will serve as crucial preparation for the T20 World Cup scheduled for 2026.

The series is set to begin on Sunday, August 17, and will conclude on August 31, 2025. The ODIs will take place first, with matches scheduled for August 17, 20, and 23, followed by T20Is on August 26, 29, and 31. All matches will be held in Mirpur and Chattogram, venues known for their passionate cricket fans.

This will be India’s first visit to Bangladesh since their series in 2022, where they played three ODIs and two Test matches. During that tour, India faced stiff competition, and the experience will be vital as they prepare for the upcoming series in 2025.

The timing of this tour is significant, as it is strategically placed between India’s Test series in England and their home season. The team is slated to play a five-match Test series against England during the months of June, July, and early August, which will conclude on August 4. As recent trends have shown, there is increasing specialization between formats, leading to the likelihood that only a handful of players may transition from the Test squad to the T20I lineup.

India’s home season will kick off in October, featuring tours from the West Indies and South Africa over the winter months. The season will start with a two-match Test series against the West Indies commencing on October 2, followed by a comprehensive series against South Africa that will include two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is in the months of November and December.

Additionally, India will engage in three ODIs and five T20Is in Australia amidst their home series. Cricket Australia recently announced the schedule, with the ODIs commencing on October 19 and the T20Is starting on October 29, adding to an action-packed calendar for Indian cricket.

Bollywood actor Soha Ali Khan is making her return to acting with “Chhorii 2” after a seven-year break. She shares that her journey into parenthood led her to drift away from films, but she has since realized it’s time to rediscover her personal identity.

Soha, recognized for her roles in films like “Rang De Basanti,” “Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster,” “Tum Mile,” and “Ahista Ahista,” gave birth to her daughter Inaaya Naumi Kemmu in 2017 with her husband, actor and filmmaker Kunal Kemmu. Her last appearance on screen was in “Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3,” which came out in 2018.

Reflecting on her time away from the industry, she told PTI, “Honestly, becoming a parent consumed me entirely. I became so fixated on my child that I lost touch with films, friends, family, and even my husband. Now that she’s growing more independent, I feel the need to discover who I am again.”

Soha added, “I’ve come to realize that it’s important not to lose oneself. I was one of those who did, and now I’m on a journey to rediscover myself. I love acting, and while I took a break, I’m excited to be back.”

When approached by director Vishal Furia and producer Vikram Malhotra to portray the antagonist in “Chhorii 2,” the 46-year-old actress eagerly accepted the role.

“The actress in me was thrilled at the prospect of playing an antagonist, and I have a passion for horror. It’s such a captivating genre that, when done well, can leave a lasting impression. I remember watching my first horror film at a young age—I was so frightened that I couldn’t sleep for three months! That’s the power of good horror,” she reminisced.

The original “Chhorii,” released in 2021, focused on a pregnant woman named Sakshi, played by Nushratt Bharuccha, who faces malevolent spirits targeting her unborn child. It was a remake of Furia’s 2017 Marathi film “Lapachhapi.”

The sequel continues Sakshi’s story and premieres on Prime Video, bringing back familiar characters while introducing new elements of fear.

Despite her enthusiasm for the role, Soha initially had reservations about her appearance as an antagonist. “I was concerned about how I would portray a slightly monstrous character; I didn’t want it to appear poorly executed or cliché. Indian horror has a unique way of being represented,” she admitted.

“Yet, it was a leap of faith. I trust my team completely, and I’m delighted with the results. After seeing the film, it has far exceeded my expectations,” she concluded.

“Chhorii 2” is a collaborative effort from T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych, and Tamarisk Lane Productions.
