Priyanka Chopra’s Bloody Face: Real Injury or Movie Magic on The Bluff? Priyanka Chopra recently wrapped up filming for her latest Hollywood project, The Bluff. Throughout the production, she has kept her fans engaged with numerous behind-the-scenes updates, including adorable videos of her daughter, Malti Marie Jonas, and fascinating glimpses of the prosthetics and props used in the film.
The Art of Movie Magic
On August 5, Priyanka took to Instagram to share some striking photos from the last week of filming. The images showed her face covered in blood and her hands appearing bloodied and singed. These realistic effects sparked curiosity and concern among her followers. However, Priyanka quickly clarified that these injuries were all part of the movie magic, created with highly realistic makeup.
In a video, she revealed the intriguing process behind these effects. Her stylist demonstrated how they achieved the burnt hair look by crushing rice bubbles (cereals) and applying them to the hair with hairspray. This clever trick created a convincingly burnt appearance, adding to the authenticity of her character’s look. Priyanka captioned her post, “Bloody Fun times on #TheBluff Last week of filming! PS: fyi for the unversed, I’m on a film set and it’s all make up. The 1800s on pirate ships were violent times! Incredible to see how every department on a crew creates make believe into reality.”
Personal Moments: Earlier, Priyanka posted a video on her Instagram stories showcasing a moment with her mother, Madhu Chopra. In the footage, filmed in a car en route to the wrap party, the mother-daughter pair is seen enjoying the Bollywood classic Aaja Shaam Hone Aayee from the film Maine Pyar Kiya, starring Salman Khan. Priyanka mentioned that the song is her go-to for arriving late to the wrap party, adding a caption to the video: “My song for when you’re late to the wrap party, or maybe not at all. Anyone relate?”
