Orlando Bloom is reported to have quit the upcoming survival thriller “Reset” shortly before filming, creating disruption for the production. Multiple outlets say his departure happens days ahead of the shoot and leaves the cast and crew scrambling to reorganize schedules and plans.
The reason for Bloom’s exit is not publicly stated or confirmed. NDTV and India Today report that the cause remains unknown. Other reporting, including the New York Post, cites an industry source saying the production scrambles in response and links the change to earlier upheaval, such as the replacement of the film’s original director.
Times of India adds that Bloom’s exit affects project logistics, finances, and overseas distribution, and that filmmakers are considering multiple replacement options for the lead male role. Across coverage, Priyanka Chopra—who co-stars and also serves as a producer—is described as likely having influence in the casting decision, as the team moves to proceed with a new actor.
