Netizens laud Priyanka Chopra as she takes Akshay Kumar's name on a global platform with Tom Cruise and appreciates him: 'PC will never not be iconic'

Priyanka Chopra has been promoting her film 'Heads Of State' where she's seen in a powerful avatar, doing hardcore action alongside John Cena and Idris elba. The film began streaming from June 2 onwards but at the premiere of 'Heads Of State' in London, PC was asked about doing big action movies. The actress made sure she spoke about her roots with the global media at the red carpet as well. When asked about doing her own stunts just like Tom Cruise , Priyanka said, "I love what Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar do. They're really good at that. But, I don't think I have the courage to hang off a plane that's taking off or doing that kind of stuff." She further added, "But, I do love being a part of big mega movies. We do stand on the shoulders of so many people – there's a massive stunt team that made me do all the things that I did." A user on Reddit, shared this video and wrote, "It was nice to have Akshay's name taken here, like to have people from your country being appreciated in a big place like Hollywood, which is great." Netizens further lauded Priyanka as they commented on her post, thus pointing out the fact that Priyanka never fails to take names from Bollywood globally, thus always remembering that she's the ambassador of Hindi cinema in the west. A user said, "I mean, he is Khiladi for a reason! Before khatron ke khiladi, he would host a show called Seven deadly arts with Akshay kumar. And I was super fascinated by that!! And pC has always given credit where it's due!! Love her presence of mind and general appreciation!" Another person said, "Taking akkis name without caring about contemporary 'so called' standards ...Akki Kudos" A person commented, "Always did and still love this about PC! She has a sharp awareness that she is not only breaking the ceiling with her exposure in Hollywood but she knows that she is sort-of the representative of Bollywood out west. And she makes sure to share credit and no shy away from her own native references. That way, she gets to hype up her colleagues, stay true to herself, and in her own way continue being the bridge between cultures. And the best thing? Its never out-of-the-blue. It makes sense in context!" The same comment further pointed out, "When she was promoting Citadel, she was mentioning SLB as a director who has a gran vision for his films and achieves scale that looks massive even though his budgets are smaller than Hollywood's. When she is promoting Heads of State now, and just off the back of Tom Cruise doing M:I, it makes total contextual sense for her to not only use the Tom Cruise name/hype in her own action experience, but also tie in Akshay Kumar along the way. " Another person said, "Just one thing. PC will never not be iconic. PERIOD."
