4 Apr
Summary
- Director Aditya Dhar considers historical epic or sports drama.
- His recent film 'Dhurandhar 2' achieved Rs 1,500 crore.
- He plans a well-deserved break before his next project.

Director Aditya Dhar is reportedly contemplating his next directorial venture after the immense success of his recent two-part franchise, 'Dhurandhar'. The director is said to be choosing between three distinct genres for his upcoming project, which is anticipated to be significantly larger in scale and ambition.
His options include reviving the shelved project 'The Immortal Ashwatthama', which was previously halted due to budget concerns. Another potential film is a grand historical epic focusing on the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. Dhar has reportedly been in discussions with Ranveer Singh, who starred in 'Dhurandhar', for this historical drama.
Additionally, a sports drama is rumored to be in development, though details remain scarce. Following the back-to-back blockbusters, Dhar plans to take a well-deserved break before finalizing his next move. 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has achieved a global box office total of Rs 1,523.58 crore, with its domestic net collection nearing Rs 1,000 crore.
