Priyanka Chopra, Heads of State star at The Tonight Show

During her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Priyanka shared some behind-the-scenes moments from the shoot. She talked about the camaraderie on set, the pranks played on her, and how she helped ease tensions between her co-stars Idris Elba and John Cena during early days of filming.

One moment that stood out was her story of an injury she sustained while performing a stunt - losing a chunk of her eyebrow in the process. Far from shaken, she now calls the resulting scar one of her favourites, a reminder of the commitment and chaos behind making action cinema unforgettable.

Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas 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. I just put surgical glue on there, stuck it. Finished my day, because I did not want to come back and shoot in the rain again."

In Heads of State, an explosive action-comedy directed by Ilya Naishuller, international tensions turn personal when UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) find themselves in a public, petty rivalry that threatens the long-standing "special relationship" between their nations. But things take a dangerous turn when a mysterious foreign enemy targets them both, overpowering their elite security forces and forcing the two leaders into an uneasy alliance.

With no one else to trust, they turn to the sharp and fearless MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). As the unlikely trio goes on the run, they must overcome their differences to take down a deadly global conspiracy before it unravels the free world. The film also features standout performances from Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles.
