Priyanka Chopra looks for a new co-star as Orlando Bloom exits Reset days before filming

Priyanka Chopra was set to begin production on a new Hollywood thriller, Reset, but co-star Orlando Bloom has reportedly left the project just days before filming was to begin. The reason for Bloom's exit remains unclear. The film, written by Jordan Rawlins, follows Priyanka's character, who finds herself in the wilderness with no memory of her past.

She must rely on trusting a charming stranger, but he might not be as he seems. Bloom had been cast to play this role, but has since pulled out. The production team is now searching for a replacement, with three actors being considered. Priyanka, who would also have a say in the decision, will weigh in on the choice. The film's fate now hangs in the balance, given Bloom's star power and Priyanka's, which helped secure worldwide distribution rights for the indie project.

The director, Matt Smukler, praised the duo's undeniable chemistry, stating that their on-screen presence made the audience believe both attraction and mistrust simultaneously. Bloom's sudden departure mirrors a recent controversy in India, where Ranveer Singh abruptly stepped out of Farhan Akhtar's upcoming crime drama Don 3. However, Priyanka herself has a history of last-minute exits from Hindi films, notably from Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat in 2019, which she later replaced with Katrina Kaif.

Since then, Priyanka has continued to build her Hollywood career, starring in romantic comedies, action thrillers, and indie projects. Her next projects include a comedy starring Will Ferrell, Baywatch co-star Zac Efron, and SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, alongside Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
