by

As a die-hard fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, I must say that 2024 has been a rollercoaster year for him! From the enchanting world of Moana to the festive fun of Red One alongside Chris Evans and J.K. Simmons, it seems like there’s no stopping this charismatic powerhouse.

2024 has been nothing short of electrifying for me, being an ardent fan of Dwayne Johnson! Fresh off the success of Moana’s second installment, this powerhouse actor is all set to redefine the Holiday season with his upcoming blockbuster Red One. Sharing screen space with none other than Chris Evans, J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, and a stellar cast, I can hardly contain my excitement!

To Filmfare, the actor expressed his fondness for Bollywood movies and reminisced about collaborating with Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Baywatch. “Priyanka and I had an enjoyable time shooting that movie [Baywatch] together, and I’m keen on the prospect of creating a Bollywood film,” he shared.

As a lifestyle expert, let me tell you that in our recent discussions, I’ve been exploring the potential growth opportunities in India, highlighting its immense market potential. To put it simply, there’s Hollywood – which we all know – and then there’s Bollywood, each with their unique charm. Speaking of films, I was fortunate to be part of ‘The Citadel’, where I played the character Zack Efron’s nemesis, Victoria Leeds. Interestingly, the film also starred Johnson, Kelly Rohrbach, Alexandra Daddario, Jon Bass, and Ilfenesh Hadera as lifeguards.

In addition to being one of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s initial major studio films in Hollywood, the movie was also a significant milestone for her. Later on, she joined prominent film series such as the successful Matrix franchise, reappearing in The Matrix Resurrections released in 2021.

At a press conference during the 2024 Red Sea International Film Festival, the actress discussed her childhood fascination with the sci-fi franchise and how it fueled her passion for filmmaking. “The Matrix,” she confessed, “had an undeniable impact on cinema.

She mentioned that she had seen it in a movie theater long ago, and it seemed almost enchanting; it was as if she wondered, ‘How can they make such scenes in films?’

In the movie Red One during the holiday season, Johnson takes on the role of Callum Drift, Santa’s top security officer. Initially unwilling, he teams up with Chris Evans’ character Jack O’Malley to find and retrieve Santa (Simmons) before Christmas. As the official synopsis states, “When Santa is abducted, the Head of Security at the North Pole must partner with a notorious hacker in a thrilling, worldwide adventure to save Christmas.
