During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Priyanka Chopra shared how her daughter, Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, reacted to seeing her covered head-to-toe in fake blood for a scene. What followed was equal parts adorable and amusing, as the toddler tried to make sense of the dramatic look.

“She just looked at me up and down and she was like trying to compute that ‘is that a boo boo Mama from your head to your toe… that’s a big boo boo.’ Then I had to explain to her it’s like pretend for makeup,” Priyanka Chopra said while promoting The Bluff.

The moment did not end there. Instead of being scared, her daughter leaned into the situation with curiosity, even attempting to dab the fake blood on her own face. What could have been confusing quickly turned playful, giving Chopra a “peculiar” yet heartwarming bonding memory she clearly cherishes.

Inside the story of The Bluff and its stellar cast

Set in the late 19th-century Caribbean, The Bluff follows Priyanka Chopra as Ercell Bodden, a former pirate who has left her dangerous past behind to build a quiet family life. However, peace proves short-lived as old enemies and buried betrayals resurface, threatening everything she has fought to protect. Forced back into the world she once escaped, Bodden must rely on her instincts, strength, and survival skills to confront powerful adversaries. The film weaves together action-packed sequences with emotional stakes, exploring themes of redemption, loyalty, and the cost of one’s past.

Led by Chopra, The Bluff features a dynamic ensemble that adds scale and intensity to its pirate-driven narrative. Karl Urban joins as a key co-lead, while Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Vedanten Naidoo, and Temuera Morrison round out the supporting cast, each contributing to the film’s layered storytelling.
