A second collaboration is brewing even before the first reaches the silver screen. PeepingMoon.com has learned that Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar are discussing a mythological action drama to follow their upcoming espionage thriller, ‘Dhurandhar,’ which is set for a theatrical release on December 5. 

Sources say Ranveer and Aditya developed a strong creative rapport while working on ‘Dhurandhar’ and are keen to extend their partnership. They're seriously exploring a large-scale mythological-action spectacle which they plan to co-produce under their respective banners. Aditya will start working on the script next year, while Ranveer completes his other commitments. If all goes well, this film will go on floors in early 2027.

Contrary to what many might expect, this latest outing is not a revival of Aditya’s long-shelved magnum opus, ‘The Immortals of Ashwatthama.’ The director has moved on from that project after it failed to materialize despite years of development. Instead, he is now working on an equally ambitious, fresh project steeped in Hindu mythology, with Ranveer playing a kind of larger-than-life character he has never portrayed before.

The fate of this mythological project, however, hinges significantly on the commercial success of ‘Dhurandhar.’ A strong box office performance could fast-track the project, whereas a lackluster result could just cast uncertainty over such a big-budget gamble. That said, Ranveer and Aditya seem quite confident about ‘Dhurandhar.’ Early industry buzz is also highly optimistic, with insiders who have seen the footage calling it a potential blockbuster, perhaps better than Aditya's previous directorial, ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike.’

A high-octane, gripping action thriller inspired by true events, ‘Dhurandhar’ features Ranveer leading an ensemble of heavyweights such as Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The film is expected to be wrapped by October, paving the way for its December 5 release.
