Ranveer Singh to Become Lord Shiva on Screen

Ranveer Singh is reportedly set to embody Lord Shiva in the cinematic adaptation of Amish Tripathi's bestselling novel trilogy, starting with 'The Immortals of Meluha.' This ambitious project, backed by Maa Kasam Films and Birla Studios, aims to develop a sprawling cinematic universe across three films.

The adaptation is currently in its nascent stages, with a strong emphasis on script development and intricate world-building. Sources indicate that the first film is slated to begin production in 2028, allowing ample time for crafting the narrative. While Singh is confirmed for the lead role, the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.

The makers are approaching the franchise with a long-term vision, planning for extensive storytelling over three installments. The acquisition of the rights was reportedly a substantial investment, signaling the project's large-scale aspirations for both domestic and international audiences.
