Hollywood Films (Lead)
Baywatch (2017)
Priyanka plays the high-heeled villain Victoria Leeds in this beach-action remake, Opposite Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Bringing camp, confidence, and glam to a B-movie with an A-list attitude.

The White Tiger (2021)
Based on Aravind Adiga’s novel, this dark satire explores class, power, and survival in modern India. Priyanka plays Pinky Madam and also co-produced.
- Worth watching? Yes. It’s among her most subdued power-packed performances, like a slow-burning candle in a room full of fireworks.
Love Again (2023)
A rom-com opposite Sam Heughan, where Priyanka stars as a grieving woman sending texts to her late fiancé’s number. It’s a light film, but she gives it emotional heft.
- Worth watching? It’s a soft, saccharine love story and Priyanka is like a handwritten letter in a world of DMs.
Heads of State (2025)
A political action comedy where she joins forces with Cena and Elba in chaotic, over-the-top missions. She’s there more as eye candy than plot mover. Still, she holds her own even when the writing doesn’t.

Hollywood Films (Cameos/ Supporting Roles)
A Kid Like Jake (2018)
A thought-provoking indie drama addressing gender identity in parenting. A friend of the lead couple is played by Priyanka. It’s subtle and emotionally rich, with Priyanka fitting nicely into a tender ensemble.
- Worth watching? Although she doesn’t Command, she blends in like a well-cast brushstroke in a pastel painting.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
She plays Sati, a wise program with a small but symbolic role.
- Worth watching? If you’re into franchise lore and soft reboots, yes. If not, her presence is brief but elegant like a coded whisper in a digital storm.I
Isn’t It Romantic (2019)
A meta-rom-com where Priyanka plays a glam yoga ambassador in Rebel Wilson’s dream world. She’s not the lead, but she fits the fantasy vibe like a Vogue cover come alive.
- Worth watching? It’s a glam cameo full of sparkle and comic timing.
Upcoming Hollywood Project
The Bluff (TBA)

Buzz: High. Expect something gritty, atmospheric, and with more screen time (Finally).
