Summary
- Ranveer Singh to star in Pralay, a zombie survival thriller.
- The film is directed by Jai Mehta, son of Hansal Mehta.
- Pralay's production faces uncertainty due to FWICE directive.
Ranveer Singh is preparing for "Pralay," a significant departure for Bollywood, described as a post-apocalyptic zombie survival thriller. The film, helmed by first-time director Jai Mehta, son of acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta, is being mounted on an impressive budget of approximately Rs 300 crore. "Pralay" aims to deliver a large-scale zombie universe with an international crew.
While details are still emerging, Kalyani Priyadarshan is rumored to be cast as the female lead, potentially marking her Bollywood debut. The project, a collaboration between True Story Films, Maa Kasam Films, and Applause Entertainment, is slated to begin production in August 2026. However, Singh's career is currently navigating a complex situation.
On May 25, 2026, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh after his withdrawal from "Don 3." Although not a formal ban, this directive could pose logistical challenges for "Pralay," raising questions about potential impacts on production schedules and coordination.
