Priyanka Chopra starrer American action comedy “Heads of State” is set to premiere across the globe on Prime Video on July 2, 2025. Billed as an action-packed comedy, the movie revolves around the US President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba), who have a very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary—who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces—they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other.
Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (played by Priyanka Chopra), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
The film is a global adventure blending explosive action and sharp comedic banter that takes audiences on the run and for a thrilling ride. Combining fast-paced action sequences with a heavy dose of nostalgia fit with all of the 90s charm, “Heads of State” has been helmed by Ilya Naishuller, credited for his work in movies such as “Hardcore Henry” (2015) and “Nobody” (2021).
The film features an all-star ensemble cast including Idris Elba, John Cena, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, and Paddy Considine, along with others. The film marks the reunion of John Cena and Idris Elba after the 2021 supernatural drama “The Suicide Squad”.
Along with “Heads of State”, Priyanka has also been roped in as the leading lady in SS Rajamouli’s “SSMB29,” where she will be seen opposite Tollywood star Mahesh Babu for the first time. This yet-to-be-titled project will mark PeeCee’s return to the Telugu cinema after her 2002 romantic entertainer “Apuroopam”.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is set to be honoured with the inaugural Global Vanguard Award at Gold House’s fourth annual Gold Gala, a premier celebration recognizing the 2025 A100 List and First Lights.
Priyanka will receive the inaugural Global Vanguard Honour for her unprecedented 25-year career bridging Asian Pacific and Western cultures through acclaimed work across Hindi cinema and Hollywood, her continual elevation of underrepresented voices, and her unparalleled global platform—recognized by Time 100 and Forbes’ “Most Powerful Women.”
The prestigious event, which shines a spotlight on the most influential Asian Pacific leaders and changemakers, will mark a historic moment as Priyanka becomes the first recipient of the newly established accolade, recognizing her trailblazing global impact across entertainment, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. Gold House is set to host its much-anticipated fourth annual Gold Gala on May 10, 2025, at the renowned Music Center in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.
