Just as Bollywood is still soaking in the massive numbers from Dhurandhar’s Rs 3000 cr record-shattering run, Ranveer Singh has already moved on to his next big swing — and this one couldn’t be more different. The actor has kicked off filming for Pralay, an apocalyptic survival thriller set against the streets of Mumbai, marking not just a genre shift but also his debut as a producer. Here’s everything we know so far about the film going on floors right after Ranveer’s biggest theatrical triumph yet.
About Pralay director, production
Pralay is being directed by Jai Mehta, who has previously co-directed Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Lootere. The project is backed by Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios, along with Hansal Mehta and Sahil Saigal’s True Story Films, alongside Ranveer’s own production banner, Maa Kasam Films.
Pralay plot
Set against a dystopian Mumbai ravaged by a deadly outbreak, Pralay follows a married couple as they fight to survive a city consumed by chaos. While the makers are keeping key plot details under wraps, the film is expected to blend large-scale action, survival drama and horror elements, with its characters pushed to extreme limits.
Pralay budget
The film is being mounted as a high-octane zombie survival thriller, with the team beginning an intense shooting schedule across Mumbai. According to several reports, Pralay will be made on a massive budget of Rs 300 crore.
