About Heads of State
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, Heads of State is an action-comedy that follows US President Will Derringer (John Cena) and British Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), whose long-standing rivalry is put on hold after Air Force One is shot down over enemy territory. The 43-year-old actor plays a key role in the high-octane political adventure.
The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles in key roles. It blends political satire with pulse-pounding action and laugh-out-loud moments. Heads of State is currently streaming on Prime Video.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is gearing up for her return to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, which marks her first collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker. The ambitious project also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran and is expected to blend mythology with time-travel. While Mahesh Babu is confirmed to play Lord Ram, reports suggest that Prithviraj Sukumaran may play the role of Kumbhkaran.
