'Cool scar and good story to tell,' says Priyanka Chopra as she reveals on-set injury from Citadel

Actress Priyanka Chopra has revealed what she thinks of doing stunts on sets. The actress will soon be seen in the web series Citadel alongside actor Richard Madden. She recently admitted that she does not like to do stunts herself on the sets. "I didn't want to do my stunts," said Priyanka.

As per a report by Deadline, Priyanka recalled her experience of doing her own stunts not just for her American TV show but also for the Bollywood movies in which she has worked for a long time.


The Citadel actress said, "I trust myself to do it, the mandate from the filmmakers was, We would love for the actors' faces to be seen as much as you can and where you feel safe. I'm someone who has tremendous experience with action movies and action parts. Not just with my TV show, but my Bollywood action movies. I was working 15, 20 years ago when I didn't even have stunt doubles. I had a little man wearing a wig with shaved arms that used to do stunts for me that were too dangerous because we didn't even have women at that time. So I learned how to do my stuff".

She also revealed how she got the scar as her left eyebrow had an unfortunate run in the camera. Explaining the incident she said, "It was at the end of a rainy London day, and we were losing light so it was. Let's rush, rush, rush the ground was wet, and I went an inch in front of where I was supposed to stop. So the camera came an inch closer to me and the matte box took out my eyebrow. But you know, I have a cool scar and a good story to tell. I just put some surgical glue on her and closed her up and finished the day."

Priyanka later added, "I didn't want to come back and have to do that whole thing again was just like, 'Let's just get it done.' I had fake blood and mud and stuff on my face anyway so you couldn't even tell."

Madden who also performed massive stunts for the movie narrated why he agreed to perform such action sequences for the movie. The actor said, "I've got a lot of dull aches I'm not as young as I used to be. There's a lot of stretching that goes on now. But it was worth it. I wanted to do all of the stunts because we're trying to make the action and the drama intertwined. I can't just be like, 'I'm gonna sit in my trailer and let the stuntman do it.' They want my face in there because Priyanka and I needed to connect together, and we get to tell a bit of the story in the middle of an action sequence. We don't want to miss out on that."

Citadel will premiere on Amazon Prime on April 28.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
