Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a global icon, has recently shared her perspective on the enduring magic of movie theaters amidst the rise of OTT platforms. Meanwhile, John Cena, another Hollywood star, has expressed his deep gratitude towards his Indian fan base. Both stars are currently promoting their new action-comedy, "Heads of State," which premiered on Prime Video on July 3, 2025.

Chopra Jonas acknowledged the convenience and accessibility of OTT platforms, recognizing that entertainment is now available "24/7 in various formats". However, she firmly believes that the magic of the movie theater experience will never fade. She emphasized the unique charm of entering a darkened theater and watching a film with friends, family, and even strangers, all connected by the shared viewing experience. The scale, sound, and immersive atmosphere of the big screen create a special and irreplaceable experience.

Chopra Jonas also highlighted the continuous technological advancements that enhance the cinematic experience, such as 3D, IMAX, and immersive audio. These innovations keep bringing people back to theaters, offering something that OTT platforms cannot fully replicate.

Her passion for cinema extends beyond acting, as demonstrated by her co-production of the Marathi film "Paani". This project showcases her commitment to Indian storytelling and her belief in the power of cinema to connect people.

In addition to her thoughts on the theater versus OTT debate, Chopra Jonas has revealed her plans to return to Indian cinema. While the specifics are under wraps, there is speculation about a potential collaboration with director S.S. Rajamouli for an ambitious project. This collaboration could redefine cinematic storytelling and bring together Chopra Jonas's global appeal and Rajamouli's visionary direction.

Meanwhile, John Cena has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his Indian fan base, recognizing their significant role in shaping his career. Speaking at the London premiere of "Heads of State," Cena reflected on the importance of India to him over the years. He acknowledged the incredible enthusiasm, hospitality, and welcome he has always received from Indian fans, even during his limited visits to the country.

Cena emphasized that he would not be where he is today without the support and investment of the Indian audience. He expressed his gratitude and stated that he has tried his best to "pay it forward" because of the investment the audience of India has given to him. Cena also credited Indian fans for shaping his global reach and success. He recognizes the unique strength and energy of Indian supporters and thanks them for their unwavering dedication and love.

"Heads of State" reunites Cena with his "The Suicide Squad" co-star Idris Elba and also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas in a pivotal role. In the film, Cena plays Will Derringer, a former action star turned U.S. President.
