With the release of her web series Citadel (a spy thriller) on Amazon Prime, Priyanka Chopra will make her OTT debut. But the actor has already signed a new contract with Amazon Studios before the show even airs. She will soon be cast next to John Cena (a wrestler-turned-actor) and actor Idris Elba for an action picture titled Heads of State. The filming of Heads of State is scheduled to start in May, according to a report on Deadline.

Priyanka is preparing for the premiere of her Love Again (a Hollywood film), which stars Celine Dion and Sam Heughan. Priyanka will also be seen in Ending Things, a movie starring Anthony Mackie as well. Then she also has a project - Jee Le Zaraa, a Bollywood film with Farhan Akhtar, an actor-director. As for the script of Heads of State, it was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec. And the story is based on one written by Harrison Query.

The director will be Ilya Naishuller of Nobody fame. The source also suggests that the movie will be similar to Air Force One meets Midnight Run. Before beginning promotions for Citadel, Priyanka was recently spotted at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre's opening in Mumbai. Following the weekend's two-day NMACC inaugural celebration, it was on Tuesday that Priyanka attended the Mumbai premiere of The Citadel.

Richard Madden, who plays her co-star, joined her. On 28 April, the first two episodes will make their international debut on Amazon Prime in 40 different languages. Later, more episodes will be made available. The Citadel storyline is about elite agents Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) and Mason Kane (Madden). Their memories are wiped off while making a narrow escape for their lives after the fall of Citadel, an independent global spy agency.

Mason looks for his former partner Nadia and then both embark on a mission, which is deeply rooted in lies, secrets, and undying but dangerous love. The series will maintain a flagship show status and blend with other local shows that are under production in Italy and India, starring Dhawa and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Mathilda De Angelis.
