As per the synopsis shared, it read: “Deep in the Congo, a grieving UN translator is pulled onto a black-ops mission to recover a downed aircraft that isn’t supposed to exist.” “As a Special Operations team pushes upriver through militia-held territory, the recovery becomes a descent – and the closer they get to the craft, the clearer it becomes that they were never meant to bring it home.”

The Indian actress captioned the post: “Onto the next.” This will be the first time Priyanka will be seen working with Crowe, who has been feted with an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and two Golden Globes.

Crowe began acting in Australia and had his breakthrough role in Romper Stomper in 1992. He gained international recognition in the late 1990s for his starring roles in L.A. Confidential and The Insider. He shot to wider stardom for playing the title role of Gladiator and for portraying real-life mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. in A Beautiful Mind.

Talking about Priyanka, she will next be seen in Varanasi by SS Rajamouli. The film stars Mahesh Babu in a dual role alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The plot follows the adventures of Rudhra as the city of Varanasi faces the impending arrival of an asteroid, with the narrative spanning across several timelines.
