Washington DC [US], April 15: Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas is all set to reunite with her Baywatch co-star Zac Efron for an upcoming untitled comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The film is being developed under the banner of Amazon MGM Studios.
Also joining the ensemble cast is actor Michael Peña, known for his work in Cesar Chavez. Priyanka confirmed her involvement in the film by sharing a snapshot of the THR news report on her Instagram story.
Alongside Chopra, the film features a stellar cast including Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner. Nicholas Stoller, known for comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors, is directing the film from his original script. This marks another collaboration between him and Amazon MGM after his recent movie You’re Cordially Invited.
While the film’s plot remains largely under wraps, it was earlier titled Judgment Day and revolves around a young convict (played by Efron) who hijacks an unscripted TV courtroom, blaming a judge (played by Will Ferrell) for ruining his life.
On the professional front, Priyanka Chopra is also set to appear in Amazon MGM projects The Bluff, directed by Frank E. Flowers, and the action-comedy Heads of State alongside John Cena.
She was last seen in the Amazon Prime series Citadel opposite Richard Madden. However, reports suggest that Citadel Season 2 has been delayed until spring 2026 due to creative dissatisfaction. As of now, all spin-offs related to the franchise are reportedly on hold.
In addition, Priyanka is rumored to be in talks for SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated untitled film starring Mahesh Babu.
