Priyanka Chopra is all set to star in the gritty, R-rated pirate thriller, The Bluff, with Karl Urban. Ahead of the premiere, Vin Diesel showered praise on Priyanka for her talent and generosity at the film's recent LA premiere.

He claimed that the actress is attempting to improve the world and likened her to Nelson Mandela.

Diesel said, “First of all, I am going to tell you a little secret. She is so amazing in this movie, and she is such an incredible talent… and she was so nice to my kids in Europe when they had a screening…”

He added, “We share birthdays, and the only other person I want you to think about is the late Nelson Mandela. So her, Nelson Mandela and I, we are all trying to make this world a better place."

Ercell Bodden, played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, is a former pirate who is attempting to move on from her violent past.

Ercell, also known as ‘Bloody Mary,’ was formerly thought to be among the most vicious people on the high seas. She makes an effort to change her ways, but when her former crew finds her and wants retribution and the riches she took from them, she is compelled to return to her vicious ways.

The Bluff also stars Temuera Morrison as Quartermaster Lee, Captain Connor’s gold-hungry consigliere, alongside Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Zach Morris, David Field, and Vedanten Naidoo.

Ercell's intense protective instincts are influenced by Priyanka's real-life experiences as a mother, and the plot promises to blend historical pirate drama with the human stakes of survival, devotion, and retribution. The Bluff, which was co-written by Joe Ballarini and directed by Frank E. Flowers, brings Priyanka back together with the Russo Brothers, who also act as producers.
