The mood is dark, raw, unapologetically violent. This is Priyanka in absolute, absolute beast mode.
In ‘The Bluff’, Priyanka plays Ercell ‘Bloody Mary’ Bodden. She is a former pirate queen with a terrifying reputation. The story is set in late 1800s in the Caribbean.
Bloody Mary has escaped her brutal past. She now has built quiet peaceful life on remote island. She wants nothing more than to stay hidden and forget the blood she once spilled.
But peace never lasts long in pirate tales, especially when old enemies come knocking.
Karl Urban enters with vengeance
Karl Urban plays Captain Connor, Bloody Mary’s former lover and the current leader of her old crew. He arrives on island with revenge on his mind and violence in his wake.
Their reunion is anything but romantic. Old wounds reopen. Secrets resurface. Bloody Mary is forced to choose between staying silent or becoming ruthless legend she once was.
The tension between Priyanka and Karl is intense, messy, explosive.
A bloody reunion turns deadly
As Connor and his crew threaten her new life, Bloody Mary has no option left. She must dig up the side of herself she buried long ago. The film promises brutal action, emotional conflict, and a woman who refuses to be hunted.
This is not about saving the day politely. This is about survival, payback, reclaiming power in a world that once feared her name.
Nick Jonas can’t hide his pride
Priyanka’s biggest cheerleader (also our national jiju, ahem!), Nick Jonas, wasted no time showing his support. He reposted her first look on Instagram Stories and wrote, “Can’t wait for the world to see how absolutely incredible is @priyankachopra in this movie.”
‘The Bluff’ is produced by the Russo Brothers under their AGBO Studios banner, along with Angela Russo-Otstot. This marks another collaboration between the Russos and Priyanka after their work together on ‘Citadel’.
The cast also includes Temuera Morrison as Quartermaster Lee, Captain Connor’s trusted advisor.
The Bluff: Release date, time and platform
The R-rated action adventure will stream on Prime Video starting February 25. With blood-soaked visuals, fierce performances, and Priyanka Chopra at her most dangerous, ‘The Bluff’ looks ready to shake up the pirate genre.
Priyanka Chopra opens up about her daily life with Nick Jonas and how they are raising their daughter Malti Marie between Indian and American cultures. She also shares small family moments at home.
