Bollywood Buzz: Ranveer Singh's Pralay Shoot Begins In August 2026 As Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Mahavatar

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, April 30 - Bollywood's upcoming slate continues to get bigger and more ambitious, with two major projects starring Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal making headlines for their scale, timelines, genre diversity, and other reasons. Pralay Begins In August 2026 After the historic success of Dhurandhar films, Ranveer Singh is set to headline the post-apocalyptic thriller Pralay, directed by Jai Mehta. Over the last few days, there have been rumours that Pralay has had a creative difference and might be pushed back indefinitely. But according to the latest report by Variety India, there is no truth in such rumours, and the project is on. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With a reported budget of three hundred crore rupees, Pralay is scheduled to go on floors by August this year. The production plans to merge physical sets with cutting-edge AI-driven visuals to create a dystopian atmosphere unlike anything seen in Indian cinema. South Indian actress Kalyani Priyadarshan has been finalised to make her Hindi film debut alongside Singh, marking a fresh pairing for this survival drama. Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Mahavatar In a simultaneous move toward grand-scale storytelling, Vicky Kaushal has dedicated an eighteen-month window to the epic Mahavatar. Starting in June 2026, the actor will undergo a rigorous six-month preparation phase involving physical transformation and workshops to inhabit the role of the immortal sage-warrior Parashurama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Once filming begins in January 2027, Kaushal intends to stay focused exclusively on this project until its completion in December. This level of commitment means he will not take on any other films during this period, ensuring total immersion in the character. This decision highlights a growing trend among top-tier actors to prioritise singular, high-impact performances over multiple concurrent shoots. Vicky Kaushal is expected to wrap his work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War just in time to begin his intense prep for Mahavatar. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh has reportedly moved away from the Don franchise to explore new genres, leaving a vacancy in that iconic series. As these stars lock in their schedules, the industry is clearly pivoting toward long-term investments in world-building and myth-making that seek to captivate global audiences.

Love and War Starrer Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Amar Kaushik's Mahavatar; Check The Massive Prep And Shoot Timeline

BY SACNILK

Vicky Kaushal is currently navigating one of the most significant phases of his career, lining up back-to-back large-scale spectacles. Following the immense anticipation surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War, the actor is now gearing up for another ambitious project in the form of Maddock Films' upcoming mythological epic, Mahavatar. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film is set to see Vicky in a role that demands an unprecedented level of commitment and physical transformation. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the actor has blocked a total of 18 months exclusively for this project, signaling the massive scale and depth of the upcoming production. The timeline for Mahavatar begins immediately after Vicky concludes his work on Bhansali's Love and War. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, is preparing for a crucial 50-day schedule starting in May 2026. Bhansali aims to wrap the film by the end of June 2026, targeting a high-profile theatrical release on January 21, 2027. Once the cameras stop rolling for Love and War, Vicky is slated to dive straight into an intensive six-month preparatory module for Mahavatar starting in June 2026. This preparatory phase is designed to be a comprehensive training program. It includes a rigorous physical transformation aimed at bulking up the actor's physique to match the mythological scale of the character, alongside a series of acting workshops. Amar Kaushik has reportedly designed a detailed module that focuses not only on the physical aspects but also on the psychological and emotional journey of the character. This deep-dive preparation is essential as Vicky is set to portray Chiranjeevi Parashurama, a figure known for immense strength and spiritual depth in Indian history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actual filming of Mahavatar is slated to commence in January 2027. The production is looking at an extensive one-year shooting schedule that is expected to wrap up by December 2027. During this entire period, Vicky Kaushal has consciously decided not to take up any other professional assignments. By dedicating his full attention to Mahavatar, the actor aims to maintain consistency in his performance and look, treating the film as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While there is a slight possibility of a small project being squeezed in before January 2027, it remains contingent on his prep timeline and physical state. The buzz around Mahavatar has been exceptionally high since the release of its first-look poster, which showcased a fierce and unrecognizable Vicky Kaushal as Parashurama. Coming from the stable of Maddock Films, which has recently found immense success with its supernatural and horror-comedy universe through films like Stree and Munjya, this foray into the mythological space represents a bold new direction for the studio and director Amar Kaushik. With Vicky’s total immersion into the role and the backing of a proven director-producer duo, Mahavatar is being positioned as one of the most significant cinematic events of 2027.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali And Dhanush Join Forces For Mythological Jungle Drama; Deets Inside

BY SACNILK

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has signed Tamil superstar Dhanush for a large-scale mythological jungle drama, according to an exclusive report by Variety. The film will be produced under the Bhansali Productions banner with P.S. Mithran set to direct. Mithran, who is known for helming Tamil hits like Sardar and Irumbu Thirai, will make his Hindi cinema debut with this project. This collaboration brings together the cinematic scale of Bhansali with the performance caliber of Dhanush for an ambitious saga rooted in mythology. The project originated after initial plans for a Rowdy Rathore sequel between Mithran and Bhansali Productions did not materialize. Following several months of script refinement, the team settled on a mythological narrative set against a jungle backdrop. While Telugu star Ram Charan was reportedly in initial discussions for the lead role, the collaboration eventually moved toward Dhanush. For the actor, this marks his most expansive Bollywood venture following his successful track record with films like Raanjhanaa and Tere Ishk Mein. The filming for this untitled saga is scheduled to commence in early 2027. This timeline allows Dhanush to complete his extensive commitments in the South, which include Rajkumar Periyasamy's D55, a project with Mari Selvaraj, and the highly anticipated Vada Chennai 2. Meanwhile, the actor is also preparing for the immediate release of his period action thriller, Kara, which hits theaters this Friday. While there were earlier discussions regarding a biopic of APJ Abdul Kalam, the status of that production remains uncertain at this stage. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently in the final stages of his most anticipated contemporary project, Love & War, which is officially set for a worldwide release on January 21, 2027. Positioned for the lucrative Republic Day holiday weekend, the film marks a massive reunion, bringing together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. This project is a significant milestone as it reunites Ranbir with Bhansali eighteen years after his debut in Saawariya and follows Alia's successful stint in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Departing from his signature period epics, Bhansali has described this triangular love story as a contemporary film with no pillars, period costumes, or horses. Instead, the narrative reportedly features Ranbir and Vicky as Air Force officers caught in a conflict of love and duty. While trade speculation initially suggested it might be a remake of the 1964 classic Sangam, the filmmaker has clarified it is an original story that serves as an homage to that era of storytelling. The production of Love & War is nearing completion, with over 90% of the principal photography already finished as of April 2026. Alia Bhatt has reportedly wrapped her portions, while the leading men have undergone intense physical transformations; Ranbir shed 12 kgs and Vicky dropped 15 kgs to portray disciplined military officers. Despite its modern setting, the film remains a magnum opus featuring high-end VFX for its aerial and war sequences. The movie is planned for a pan-India release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring a massive footprint across the domestic box office. With Bhansali completing this schedule by mid-2026, the stage is set for him to transition into his mythological jungle drama with Dhanush by early 2027. Bhansali Productions is currently expanding its portfolio with several high-budget projects, including the Madhubala biopic starring Sara Arjun and the historical drama Jai Somnath, which is set against the events of 1025-1026 CE. The newly announced mythological drama with Dhanush adds another major prospect to the studio's 2027 calendar. This partnership aims to leverage Bhansali's production scale with Dhanush’s appeal across markets, making it a key theatrical title for the pan-India box office.

Ranbir Kapoor's Upcoming Films and Release Timeline (Updated)

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, April 17 - Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is currently going through what industry experts call the "Golden Phase" of his career. Following the historic box office success of Animal (2023), the actor has strategically chosen a lineup that balances grandeur with gritty action and high-concept drama. While it may have been over 2 years since Ranbir has had a release after Animal, the next few years will probably see at least one film of the actor hitting the big screens. Here is a deep dive into Ranbir Kapoor's films that will define Indian cinema over the next three years. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 1. Ramayana Parts 1 & 2 Director Nitesh Tiwari is currently helming what is arguably the most ambitious project in Indian cinematic history. Ranbir Kapoor steps into the role of Lord Ram, a performance that reportedly required months of physical transformation and vocal training, which is reflected in the first look teaser, though it doesn't have any dialogue. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The scale of this production is unprecedented, and the makers gave a glimpse of that by launching the first look teaser recently, after earlier showing the vision. The ensemble cast is equally legendary, featuring Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Part 1 is scheduled for a grand Diwali 2026 release, with Part 2 following exactly a year later. 2. Love & War (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a massive casting coup, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has reunited Ranbir Kapoor with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal for a period romantic war drama, Love & War. This marks Ranbir's first collaboration with Bhansali since his debut in Saawariya (2007). Unlike Bhansali’s recent period pieces, this film is described as a "contemporary war-backed romance." With a release date locked for January 21, 2027, after being postponed multiple times, the film is expected to dominate the Republic Day holiday window with its blend of intense emotion and visual splendour. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3. Animal Park Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action thriller Animal was a polarising juggernaut, and its sequel, Animal Park, is already one of the most searched upcoming titles. Ranbir will expand his role, playing both the protagonist Ranvijay and the menacing antagonist Aziz. The script is currently being finalised, with filming expected to commence once Vanga completes his project Spirit with superstar Prabhas. Fans should expect an even darker, more visceral exploration of the family's violent legacy sometime in late 2028. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 4. Dhoom 4 Perhaps the most surprising addition to his roster is the reboot of the Dhoom franchise. While there is no official confirmation yet, Ranbir is set to take over the mantle of the sophisticated "anti-hero" in Dhoom 4. The film aims to modernise the heist-action genre for a global audience. The shooting timeline is yet unknown, but if all goes well, the film may hit the big screens in 2028. 5. Brahmāstra: Part Two – Dev (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Amid the uncertainty over its future, Ramayana producer Nitesh Tiwari recently confirmed that he will take care of Brahmastra 2 after Ramayana. The first film was produced by Dharma Productions and Star Studios. Except for the fact that the movie is on, there is no concrete development in it yet. Director Ayan Mukerji is currently busy with scripting, and if things go as planned, the movie might go on floors next year for a 2028 or 2029 release.

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, April 4 - Following the historic success of Dhurandhar films, director Aditya Dhar is carefully planning his next cinematic venture, with multiple ambitious projects currently under consideration. The filmmaker, who has firmly established himself as one of Bollywood's most bankable storytellers, is expected to take a short break before locking his next film. Among the top contenders for being his next directorial venture is the long-awaited revival of The Immortal Ashwatthama, a Mahabharata epic that was previously shelved.

From URI To Dhurandhar 2, Analysing The Box Office Filmography of Filmmaker Aditya Dhar: The Man Who Doesn't Miss

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, March 25 - In an industry where consistency is rare and even top filmmakers face fluctuations, Aditya Dhar has quietly built one of the most flawless box office track records in modern Hindi cinema. Dhar, who started his career as an assistant director on the film Boond (2019), has established himself as a filmmaker with a 100% success rate across just a handful of films, whether as a director or producer. Aditya Dhar's filmography has a common link: his films are action thrillers with a political touch. But his mastery of engaging storytelling makes him different from others. In the military action-thriller genre, Aditya Dhar has proven himself second to none among his contemporaries. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Beginning: Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) Dhar made his directorial debut with Uri: The Surgical Strike, a war drama that stunned the trade with its phenomenal run. Made on a controlled budget, the film went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2019 with nearly 350 crore worldwide gross, earning both critical acclaim and massive commercial success. The film focuses on multiple chapters (one of the specialities of Dhar's filmmaking), but its core plot is based on the real story of the retaliation to the 2016 Uri attack. It tells the story of Major Vihaan Shergill (Kaushal) of the Para (Special Forces), who played a leading role in the events shown in the film. Uri established Dhar's signature-nationalistic storytelling, technical finesse, and gripping narratives, a formula that would later define his filmography. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Producer's Touch: Article 370 (2024) Dhar's second theatrical film as a filmmaker was Article 370, which he wrote with Monal Thaakar, and produced by Jio Studios. Headlined by Yami Gautam, the film is based on the 2019 revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir regarding Article 370 of the Constitution of India. Made on a low budget, the film became a box office success with over 100 crores in gross collection worldwide. As a producer, Dhar also made Dhoom Dhaam and Baramulla in 2025 for Netflix, and both films emerged as successes on the streamer. Scaling Up: Dhurandhar (2025) Aditya Dhar's second directorial venture was Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh. It was the film which literally put him in the league of the greatest Indian filmmakers. The spy action thriller centres on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation. It follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi's criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an effort to dismantle a terror network targeting India. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dhurandhar is considered one of the finest films in its genre, which not only won critical acclaim but also became a box office juggernaut with over 1300 crores worldwide as the fourth-highest-grossing Indian film and the highest-grossing Indian spy thriller of all time. The film established Dhar as a filmmaker capable of delivering pan-India spectacle cinema with global appeal, going far beyond the success of his debut. The Monster Sequel: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge (2026) Dhar had originally planned Dhurandhar as a one-part film, but due to its massive scale, the makers split it into two parts. The decision to release the film in two parts was not just strategic but also proved game-changing in Indian cinema history. Released a few days back, The Revenge is ruling the box office unlike anything before. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Aditya Dhar's Theatrical Filmography Film Year Role Worldwide Gross URI: The Surgical Strike 2019 Director ₹ 341.75 Cr Article 370 2024 Producer ₹ 105.15 Cr Dhurandhar 2025 Director/Producer ₹ 1307 Cr Dhurandhar 2 2026 Director/Producer ₹ 940 Cr (6 Days) If Dhurandhar was massive, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is rewriting the rulebook altogether. Part 2 has emerged as a box office phenomenon, delivering record-breaking numbers across domestic and international markets. In just 6 days, it has crossed 900 crore at the worldwide box office and will be topping 1000 crore at the end of today or tomorrow. What is next for Aditya Dhar? A couple of years back, Dhar had announced the Mahabharata epic, The Immortal Ashwatthama, with Vicky Kaushal in the lead. However, due to massive budget requirements, the makers had to shelve the product indefinitely. There are reports that the filmmaker might revive this film after the success of the Dhurandhar duology, but there are no concrete updates on the same. Likewise, there are reports that he might reunite with Ranveer Singh for a mythology epic, but again, there is no confirmation on it yet. While it is not confirmed what will be Dhar's next project, trade is sure that whatever he touches will turn into gold.

Love and War Budget Explodes To 400+ Crore As Shoot Days Extended For Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal Starrer

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, February 25 - Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming period romantic action drama Love and War has been making waves for its sheer scale and ambitious vision. Featuring a powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the film is being positioned as one of the most anticipated Bollywood projects, with expectations riding high among trade and audiences alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Variety India, Bhansali's ambition for the film is costing many extra crores in the production as the budget of Love and War has now reportedly shot up to a staggering 425 crore, significantly higher than its originally planned 350 crore. The spike in cost is said to be a direct result of the director's uncompromising quest for perfection, which is pushing the cost much higher than anticipated. Report further reveals that the 425 crore figure does not include the remuneration of the leading cast. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal have all reportedly opted for backend profit-sharing deals, a strategy that reduces immediate production pressure while aligning the actors' earnings with the film's eventual box office performance. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Love and War has also seen a major extension in production timeline. The film was initially expected to be wrapped within 120 shooting days, but the schedule has now been stretched by nearly 50 more days. As things stand, the shoot is expected to conclude in approximately 175 days, reflecting the film's massive scale and Bhansali's meticulous filmmaking process. With soaring costs, an extended shoot, and one of the strongest star line-ups in recent years, Love and War is shaping up to be a true high-risk, high-reward cinematic spectacle. The makers have already recovered 200 crores from the non-theatrical revenues and are confident of making big at the box office when the film hits the big screens. It will be released in 2027.
