Priyanka acknowledged Akshay and Tom's skills in their action films but also expressed her hesitation in doing similar stunts. She said, "I love what Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar do. They're really good at that, but I don't think I have the courage to hang off a plane that's taking off or do that kind of stuff."

She further spoke about her wish to be a part of large-scale films and acknowledged the contribution of stuntmen in action films. "But, I do love being a part of big mega movies. We do stand on the shoulders of so many people – there's a massive stunt team that made me do all the things that I did. There are wires, mats and lots of it. So, it is the magic of the movies," she said.

Tom Cruise and Akshay Kumar are known for performing high-octane stunts in their films. While belonging to different industries – Hollywood and Bollywood, respectively – both stars share a common passion: performing their own action sequences. From hanging off planes to jumping from one rooftop to another, the actors have often pushed the boundaries with their stunts.
