Priyanka Chopra was all set to kick off her new Hollywood survival thriller Reset, before the title turned out to be the fate of the film. Her co-star and fellow executive producer Orlando Bloom has reportedly exited the film just days before it was scheduled to go on floors. The exact reason behind his departure is not known.
Written by Jordan Rawlins, Reset revolves around Priyanka’s character, who wakes up in the middle of the wilderness with no memory of how she got there. Her only chance at survival is trusting a charming stranger, but he may not turn out to be who he claims he is. Bloom was signed to play this role, but has now backed out of the film. TMZ reports that the makers are now looking for Bloom’s replacement, with three actors being eyed as the potential pick. Priyanka would also have a say in the same, but the fate of the film is uncertain now, given Bloom’s international star presence, aided by Priyanka’s, was being leveraged to secure the worldwide distribution rights of the indie project.
Even director Matt Smukler relied on what Priyanka and Orlando brought to the table together. “I was looking for a pairing where attraction and mistrust could effortlessly coexist. Priyanka and Orlando have this uncanny ability to make you believe both at once. Their chemistry is undeniable,” the filmmaker told Deadline earlier this year.
