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 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.

After a lot of anticipation, Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par has finally hit the box office on June 20. Featuring Aamir Khan and neurodivergent children as the leads of the film, Sitaare Zameen Par has received rave reviews. Netizens say that the movie is a joyful ride of emotions and will give you the feeling of a warm hug. After receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences, the film has made a promising start at the box office. Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1 As per industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par has an estimated collection of around Rs. 8.77 crore India net on its first day in all languages. Sitaare Zameen Par, which is being called the spiritual sequel of Aamir Khan's 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par, witnessed a theatre occupancy of 17.73% in Hindi in the morning of the release day. On the other hand, the Aamir Khan starrer had its highest occupancy in the Jaipur region at 29.33%.

Sitaare Zameen Par Review review of Sitaare Zameen Par states, 'Overall, Sitaare Zameen Par is a true example of how one should deal with sensitive topics such as Down syndrome. While some try to make a mockery of such subjects, this film does not just keep its focus on the characters but also gives a life lesson. This film is a typical Aamir Khan-style film that perfectly balances humour and emotions and does not feel like a forced sequel at all; instead, it raises the bar high for its remarkable legacy.'
