The film is a pirate adventure set in the late 1800s. The stills shared Priyanka show her engaged in a sword fight with Karl Urban. Another scene features her sitting with her family and speaking into a mic at a gathering. The following photos show her as a pirate on a ship, while one striking visual shows her bloodied and aiming a pol at someone. Priyanka captioned the post, “Mother. Protector. Pirate.

About The Bluff
According to Esquire, Priyanka plays the character of an ex-pirate known as Bloody Mary, who has escaped her violent past and settled on an island, becoming a prominent member of the community and building a family. However, her past life comes knocking when her former crew seeks revenge against her for stealing their gold. She is forced to return as Bloody Mary to protect her family.
As per the report, the film will be far from the glamorous pirate roles shown in mainstream cinema. Instead, it will be a nail-biting, gritty and brutal portrayal of the harsh lives pirates lived. Karl Urban will play the role of Captain Connor. Speaking about her role, Priyanka told the publicationn, “I did not know anything about females who were pirates. I didn’t know that was a concept that actually happened or that women had captained their own ships at a time where piracy—real piracy—was not the Disney version of it. It was scary, it was bloody, it was brutal.”
