Priyanka Chopra has just completed filming her latest Hollywood project, The Bluff. Throughout the production, she has kept fans in the loop with numerous behind-the-scenes updates. These include images of her on-set injuries, adorable videos of her daughter, Malti Marie Jonas, singing, and fascinating glimpses of the prosthetics and props used in the film.
Recently, she unveiled a highly realistic makeup look, explaining the intriguing process of creating burnt hair effects for the shoot, which is definitely worth seeing.
Today, on August 5, Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to share photos where her face is covered in blood, along with images of her bloodied, injured, and singed hands. She also revealed the trick used to create burnt-hair effects on the set. In a video posted by our Desi girl, she is seen asking her stylist how they achieve the burnt hair look. The stylist demonstrated this by crushing rice bubbles/cereals and applying them to the hair with hairspray, creating a convincingly burnt appearance.
Sharing the photos and videos, Priyanka Chopra revealed that it is all makeup, adding that the pictures are from the last week of filming. She captioned the post, “Bloody Fun times on #TheBluff Last week of filming! PS: fyi for the unversed, I’m on a film set and it’s all make up. The 1800s on pirate ships were violent times! Incredible to see how every department on a crew creates make believe into reality.”
As soon as Priyanka shared the photos, fans flooded the comment section with praise. One user wrote, “The best! Can’t wait to watch this movie and know more about Ercell.” Another commented, “I can’t wait to meet Ercell! This one looks like it’ll be the bloodiest, bravest, boldest character of yours and I’M HERE FOR IT!!!” A third fan added, “Hard work always pays off!!!”
Earlier, the Citadel star posted a video on her Instagram stories showcasing a moment with her mother, Madhu Chopra. In the footage, filmed in a car en route to the wrap party, the mother-daughter pair is seen enjoying the Bollywood classic Aaja Shaam Hone Aayee from the film Maine Pyar Kiya, starring Salman Khan.
She mentioned that the song is her go-to for arriving late to the wrap party. As she enjoyed the music with her mother, the actress added a caption to the video: “My song for when you’re late to the wrap party, or maybe not at all. Anyone relate?”
The Bluff is an upcoming American film co-written by Frank E. Flowers and Joe Ballarini, with Flowers also directing. Priyanka Chopra stars in the lead role, joined by Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and Vedanten Naidoo.
In addition to The Bluff, Chopra will appear in the action comedy Heads of State alongside John Cena. She is also set to return for the second season of the highly anticipated spy thriller series Citadel and will feature in Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zara, where she’ll star with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned his counterparts from the G7 countries that an attack by Iran and Hezbollah against Israel could commence as early as Monday, Axios reported.
In Israel, however, the leading daily Times of Israel reported that the Benjamin Netanyahu-led government could sanction a preemptive strike on Iran to prevent an attack on Israeli soil. According to the report, Israel’s leading intelligence agencies Mossad and Shin Bet and their respective heads David Barnea and Ronen Bar, were part of a meeting called by Netanyahu that was also attended by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
Hezbollah, established in the early 1980s with Iranian support, represents Iran’s first proxy in the Middle East. Funded and armed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah shares Tehran’s core ideology and recruits primarily from Lebanon’s Shiite Muslim population.
Iran on Saturday said that Hezbollah will escalate its attacks deeper into Israeli territory, potentially targeting more than just military installations. The rapid escalation of tensions follows Israel’s recent assassination of a senior Hezbollah military commander, Fuad Shukr. On July 30, Israel struck a densely populated residential area in south Beirut, killing Shukr and five civilians.
The situation is further complicated by the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, a move attributed to Israel, although it has not been confirmed by Israeli authorities.
Concerns have heightened dramatically, as months of cross-border skirmishes risk devolving into a full-scale conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. The two adversaries last engaged in a devastating war in the summer of 2006, which saw Israel bombing Lebanon’s only passenger airport in Beirut.
The intensity of the current situation has led various embassies, including India’s, to urge their citizens to leave Lebanon while commercial flights remain available.
Hezbollah has maintained near-daily exchanges of fire with Israeli forces, targeting military positions since its Palestinian ally Hamas initiated an attack on Israel on October 7, triggering the ongoing war in Gaza.
In response to these developments, Antony Blinken convened a conference call with G7 foreign ministers to coordinate diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the situation, the report added.
