Priyanka Chopra Reveals Dream To Star With Tom Cruise

Priyanka Chopra isn’t chasing roles just to fill screen space; she wants the ones that push her. In her recently released Hollywood project, Heads of State, she’s stepped into a fast-paced action setup, but what really got her in was the director’s clear intent: this story needed a woman who leads, not follows. That pitch stuck. For Priyanka, it wasn’t about being part of the cast; it was about having weight in the story.

She’s been clear about this before. Glam for glam’s sake doesn’t interest her. She wants roles that move things forward. Heads of State felt right because it gave her a seat at the center, not the edge. She also credits newer directors who aren’t afraid to let women drive high-stakes stories. No lip service, just proper roles with purpose.

As for action icons, Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar are right at the top of her list. Not because of fame, but because of how fully they commit. She’s drawn to that kind of intensity, where the stunts are real, the energy’s raw, and the work speaks loud. If a chance with Tom Cruise ever comes along, she’s not hesitating. She's already visualized it.
