Jonas played Alex in the the thriller series Quantico, becoming the first ever South Asian actor to lead a broadcast TV show.

She went on to star alongside Idris Elba and John Cena in the action comedy Heads of State.

In her new film the Bluff, she plays Ursula, a former pirate on a quest to save her family while confronting her complicated past.

And how are you so good at killing people?

He was a colonizer for the East India Trading Company and a notorious buccaneer like the ones in my book.

I mean, there's a lot of action, but there are also some historical undertones as well.

And not only, by the way, are you starring in it.

Well, first of all, like, you know, I think pirate movies, we've gotten so used to seeing the Disney version of them, and

I'm a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but

I had no idea what the real life of pirates was like till this movie came across my desk when, when I read it, I didn't even know female pirates existed.

Like, history has erased these iconic female pirates that existed around the world, like Chin Shi or Mary Read.

So I was very excited about the fact that I got to play a pirate, not just pirate adjacent.

And also, it's based in themes of colonialism.

So as an Indian person, like, that really hit home for me as well.

And we know you've done these action movies before, but this one is a little different.

I mean, you're doing a lot of action, but

you even got to do some sword play and stuff.

Was this the first time you did extensive blade work?

I haven't done a lot of blade work in my.

My career before maybe back in the day, 15 years ago or something.

So it's the first time I was picking up blades.

And Karl Urban, my co actor, was, who I have this big duel with, was in the Lord of the Rings, and

so he knows his blades, so I really had to, like, level up.

So I trained for months extensively to make sure that, you know, we could be.

We could have a duel which happened during the training or anything.

I have my fingers, but I have lots of scars in the middle of them.

If you're gonna do an action movie, you're bound to have a few bonks here and there.

Speaking of going all in your fashion, how much fun are you having on this press tour?

Because you are really embracing the pirate corps in the most fabulous way.

I think, you know, if you're gonna do a method dressing, it should be like to a movie which is a pirate theme.

You know, promote a movie, but make it fashion.

I think my premiere outfit was one of my favorites.

This Dior one was really amazing because it's off the Runway.

But I think the premiere outfit because it was cuirass that I wore in the movie, it was part of my costume from the movie and it was a Caribbean designer who decides war.

There's the filled who did the rest of it.

So it was very intentional and meaningful.

Your husband, Nikki released his first solo project, I think in about five years.

And he talks a lot about being a husband, sings about being a father as well.

Was there a song on the album that touched you more than the others or.

I think Nick really poured his heart into it and I mean, it's very hard to be so vulnerable when you've been so public for such a long time.

But there's a song called Princesses, which she wrote about our daughter and about her and her relationship with the doorman and like how we play princesses together and she's a definite princess girlie right now.

And that like, if you listen to the words, is really special.

And you're making a big return to Indian cinema with something you say is kind of a career defining film for you.

Well, I'm a big admirer of the filmmaker.

His name is SS Rajamouli and he's, you know, one of the best filmmakers we have in India.

He's known for his large imagination and why I think this will be defining.

I think it'll be defining for Indian cinema too.

The ambition is amazing and the reaction so far has been great.

So it's a year later, we're April 2027, but

I think, yeah, I'm speaking Telugu, which I haven't done, and
