Dubai Beckons: Harshvardhan Rane to Lead New Shootout Film

Harshvardhan Rane is reportedly in talks to lead the upcoming film 'Shootout in Dubai,' signaling a potential international expansion for the popular franchise. This new installment is envisioned as a departure from its predecessors, shifting the narrative from Mumbai's underworld to a fictional crime story set against the cosmopolitan backdrop of Dubai.

The 'Shootout' franchise, known for its stylized action rooted in real-life events, began with 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' in 2007 and continued with 'Shootout at Wadala' in 2013. This new project, slated to be produced by Ektaa R. Kapoor and Sanjay Gupta, aims to retain the series' signature tense atmosphere and dramatic intensity while exploring new territory.

While Rane's involvement and the film's premise are circulating through reports, neither the production house nor the actor has issued an official confirmation. Script development for 'Shootout in Dubai' has reportedly been ongoing since 2021, with creators focused on delivering a compelling fictional crime drama.
