Global head turner Priyanka Chopra Jonas took a trip down memory lane and recalled how she lost a 'chunk" of her eyebrows while filming for her upcoming action comedy film 'Head Of State." Priyanka shared some memorable and interesting insights while speaking to Jimmy Fallon, as she commenced the promotions for her upcoming film.
She talked about how she lost a chunk of her eyebrow. Priyanka said: 'The camera has a matte box, and I was supposed to roll on the floor and fall, and it was raining. And the camera was supposed to come in close to me."
'So the camera operator came in a little bit closer–I came in a little bit closer, and it took out a chunk of my eyebrow. Could have been my eye, so I was very grateful that it wasn't."
The actress revealed that she just put surgical glue on there and stuck it. 'Finished my day, because I did not want to come back and shoot in the rain again."
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the action-comedy film Heads of State stars Idris Elba, John Cena, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in lead roles. It also features Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles.
The film will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on July 2, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. In this action-packed film, Priyanka plays Noel Bisset, an MI6 agent who joins forces with John Cena and Idris Elba's characters to navigate a high-stakes situation after their diplomatic mission is disrupted.
The 42-year-old actress also has 'SSMB 29', a film directed by SS Rajamouli. This project marks her first collaboration with the acclaimed director and stars Mahesh Babu alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The actress will also portray a 19th-century Caribbean pirate in 'The Bluff", which is a swashbuckler drama film co-written by Frank E. Flowers and Joe Ballarini, with Flowers also directing. The film stars Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Safia Oakley-Green, and Vedanten Naidoo.
Set in the Caribbean islands during the 19th century, the film features Priyanka as a former female pirate who must protect her family when her past catches up to her.

Suriya's 45th film gets a powerful title ‘Karuppu'
Tamil star Suriya's 45th film, directed by RJ Balaji, has been officially titled Karuppu, as announced by the makers on the occasion of the director's birthday. The movie is nearing completion, with only patchwork left to be filmed. Post-production is currently in progress, and the film is slated for an August 2025 release. The film's title—Karuppu—is inspired by the folk deity Karuppusamy, also referred to as the 'Black God.' The title poster features a commanding visual of Suriya holding a sword, standing in front of an image of the deity. While Suriya's face remains unseen in the poster, the mood suggests an intense and powerful role. Trisha Krishnan stars opposite Suriya, marking their reunion after two decades. The duo last shared screen space in the 2005 film Aaru. This film also brings Suriya back in collaboration with producers SR Prabu and SR Prakash Babu of Dream Warrior Pictures, who previously produced his political thriller NGK. Touted as a high-concept action adventure, Karuppu promises to blend mass appeal with RJ Balaji's signature humor. Cinematography is handled by GK Vishnu, while Sai Abhyankar, a rising talent, is composing the film's soundtrack.

Tennis racket to microphone: World No. 1 player Jannik Sinner makes singing debut alongside Andrea Bocelli
Jannik Sinner at the Terra Wortmann Open 2025 (Image by Thomas F. Starke/Getty Images) World No.1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has found an unexpected new stage — lending his voice alongside legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli in a stirring new single titled 'Dust and Glory', released on Friday. The track, which beautifully weaves Italian and English lyrics, merges Bocelli's iconic vocals with spoken verses narrated by Sinner, marking an unusual but striking collaboration between two of Italy's most celebrated contemporary figures. Dust and Glory is described as a tribute to the struggle, beauty, and resilience that define life's journey — and, as the lyrics put it, 'the fine line that turns dust into glory. ' The release is accompanied by a four-minute music video blending intimate childhood footage of both Bocelli and Sinner with present-day shots filmed at Bocelli's scenic home in Tuscany, offering a glimpse into the roots and values that shaped them. In his spoken contribution, Sinner reflects on the nature of success and perseverance, stating, ' Talent doesn't exist; it has to be earned .' Bocelli, in turn, shared his admiration for the young tennis star, saying: ' Sharing this journey with Jannik was fascinating. We're from different worlds but close in commitment and discipline in the constant search for authenticity and beauty. I have always been his fan, fascinated not only by his talent, but also by his humility and his inner strength .' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like München: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo WV Raman backs Shubman Gill to fire in England: 'He needs the right support' An equally humble Sinner said he was overwhelmed to be part of a project with Bocelli, who remains one of the most beloved voices in global music: ' I am very honored and happy to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag of our country in the world.

‘The Phoenician Scheme' movie review: Wes Anderson on autopilot
Wes Anderson has always made beautiful cinematic snow globes, immune to external messiness. Minutes into his latest (and perhaps most terminally fussy) confection, it's clear this isn't top-shelf Anderson. It might not even be bottom-shelf. It's as if he's shredded his greatest hits and glued them back together with unchecked indulgence. Set in a fictional 1950s Middle Eastern country that resembles a Suez-era Cairo, The Phoenician Scheme follows the billionaire arms dealer and infrastructure savior Anatole 'Zsa-Zsa' Korda (Benicio Del Toro) as he attempts to outmaneuver a death plot, reconcile with the nun-daughter he abandoned in a convent, and bankroll a mega-project across a desert. The plan involves dubious shoeboxes, various foreign dignitaries, and divine intervention. At one point, Bill Murray appears as God. It is not as delightful as it sounds. The Phoenician Scheme (English) Director: Wes Anderson Cast: Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, and too many more of the 'Anderson Ensemble' to name Runtime: 105 minutes Storyline: A wealthy businessman appoints his only daughter as sole heir to his estate and embarks on an adventure to secure the future of his empire In theory, this angsty, Tintin-like adventure should be a riotous romp, but in practice, I found myself trapped for nearly two hours inside a ledger with fancy illustrations. There are pages upon pages of immaculately calligraphed industrial espionage and entomological trivia that's all underscored by a steady drip of aesthetic self-congratulation. Anderson's compositions have never been more elaborate, and that in itself is saying something. Each shot is like a diorama designed by an obsessive. We glimpse Renoir paintings, hand-drawn logbooks, fruit-themed grenades — everything, save for any semblance of emotional investment, is in perfect alignment. For all the ornamentation, The Phoenician Scheme is curiously barren. Del Toro's Korda is of mythic contradiction. He's a titan of industry, a crumbling patriarch, a possible murderer, and a man with nine adopted sons housed like rare collectibles in his palazzo. Del Toro plays him laconically, but it's far too taciturn a role to work. Newcomer Mia Threapleton, as Liesl, the nun-daughter dragged back into daddy's dealings, also attempts to inject vinegar into the script's saccharine rhythms, but their emotional arc falls frustratingly flat. The evergreen Michael Cera, however, is the unsurprising balm. As Bjorn, a soft-spoken Norwegian tutor-slash-secretary-slash-American spy-slash-exposition vehicle, Cera offers a twitchy earnestness and an adorable accent that cuts through the stylistic fog. The rest of the cast — Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Wright, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mathieu Amalric — float in and out of the frames. What was once the charming idea of the 'Anderson Ensemble' has curdled into a parade of cameos, each trotting out banter like it's on a metronome. Pace is not the same as momentum, and quirk is not the same as character. These are truths Anderson seems increasingly unwilling, or unable, to accept. The Phoenician Scheme is not without its moments of wit, for it's hard to imagine any Anderson film entirely bereft of charm. But its pleasures are abstract and academic, the kind that encourages YouTube frame-freezing video essays and production design dissertations more than anything else. There are ghosts of better Anderson films haunting its hallways but none of them fully materialise. At its best, Anderson's cinema has always conjured the eccentricities and nostalgia of childhood recollected in tranquility. But The Phoenician Scheme feels nothing more than a proud auteur rifling through his own legacy in search of novelty. It's a 'monumental' work by Anderson, in the sense that it's a very, very boring edifice of lavish masonry. Its craftsmanship may impress on a second viewing, assuming you survive the first. Myself, I feel very safe. The Phoenician Scheme is currently running in theatres
