Orlando Bloom quits Priyanka Chopra's thriller "Reset" days before shoot, crew upset

Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom announced his departure from the survival thriller “Reset,” a project headlined by Indian star Priyanka Chopra, only a few days before the scheduled start of principal photography. The sudden exit has left the production team visibly frustrated, as the film’s timeline and casting plans now require rapid adjustments. Sources close to the set said the crew expressed disappointment over the last‑minute change, which could impact budgeting and scheduling. While no official statement has been released by the producers, the incident underscores the challenges of coordinating international talent for high‑profile projects. The film, still in pre‑production, is expected to continue with a revised cast.

The crew’s reaction was reported by industry insiders, who noted that morale dipped after Bloom’s withdrawal. The production company has not confirmed whether a replacement has been identified, but the project remains slated to move forward under Chopra’s leadership. Further updates are awaited as the team works to stabilize the schedule.

Bloom’s decision comes amid a busy period for the actor, who has been linked to several upcoming projects. However, no details about his reasons for leaving “Reset” have been disclosed publicly.
