Priyanka’s Exciting New Role in Amazon’s Upcoming Film
In a significant career development, Priyanka Chopra Jonas joins the cast of a forthcoming film by Nicholas Stoller, produced under the Amazon MGM Studios banner.
The talented actress known for her versatility is expanding her Hollywood repertoire with this new comedy. The film not only features Priyanka but also stars talented actors such as Michael Peña, Will Ferrell, and Zac Efron, with Regina Hall, Jimmy Tatro, and Billy Eichner contributing to the dynamic ensemble.
Priyanka announced her participation by posting a screenshot of the casting news on her Instagram stories, sparking curiosity among her followers about the film’s content. The script and direction are in the hands of Stoller, renowned for his successful works like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors, and this marks his latest venture with Amazon MGM Studios after the recent project You’re Cordially Invited, which starred Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon.
Originally titled Judgment Day, the film brings forth a unique and comedic narrative. It revolves around a young convict, represented by Zac Efron, who ends up taking the reins of an unscripted courtroom reality show.

Audiences can anticipate a blend of chaos and dark humor throughout the storyline.
While details surrounding Priyanka’s and Peña’s characters are being closely guarded, their addition to the cast has already generated enthusiasm among fans and industry observers alike. The production team includes Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Alex Brown, collaborating under their Gloria Sanchez Productions, alongside Stoller’s Stoller Global Solutions.
This film represents yet another milestone for Priyanka, further solidifying her relationship with Amazon MGM Studios. In addition to this project, she will be starring in The Bluff, directed by Frank E. Flowers, as well as the action film Heads of State, alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. Her recent credits also include the global thriller series Citadel, featuring Richard Madden, and an upcoming role in SS Rajamouli’s SSMB29 with Mahesh Babu.
On the other hand, Michael Peña, celebrated for his role in A Million Miles Away, is also making waves with recent appearances in Landman and the feature film A Working Man, which is currently in theaters.
