Ranveer Singh to wrap Singham Again by May 2024 end; to kick off Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar in June: Report
Arjun Kapoor's stint as a villain has come to an end! On Wednesday, the actor shared his excitement on social media after completing his filming for the upcoming action flick Singham Again. This marks a significant milestone for Kapoor, who expressed his joy at being part of director Rohit Shetty's renowned "cop universe." With Kapoor's filming wrapped, the baton seems to be passed to Ranveer Singh. Reports suggest Singh has finished a majority of his scenes for the Ajay Devgn-led cop film. The actor is expected to complete his portions by month-end.
According to a report in Mid-day, a source revealed, “There's some minor patchwork shooting remaining, which will be completed at Film City within the next two weeks.”
This conclusion leaves Singh with a crucial decision – what's next? Industry insiders hint at three potential projects on his slate: Aditya Dhar's gangster drama Dhurandhar, Prasanth Varma's upcoming film, and the highly anticipated Don 3 alongside Farhan Akhtar. The source further stated, “Singh is expected to commence shooting for Aditya's film in June. He's also been in talks with Prasanth Varma, known for HanuMan, regarding their next project, tentatively titled Rakshas.”
Rakshas is said to be a mythological film set in the pre-Independence era, with Singh portraying a morally ambiguous character. This unique role has reportedly piqued his interest. By the end of this month, Singh is likely to finalize the details of his next project. The current plan involves wrapping up Dhurandhar in a continuous shoot by July-end, followed by a break in August before diving into Varma's film in September.
Regarding Dhar’s project, a source told Bollywood Hungama anonymously a month ago, “Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar are very keen to make their first collaboration very special. They want to mount the film like the biggest action thriller set against the backdrop of politics and gang wars. The vision to make this requires a big budget and they are not able to align their vision with their studio partner.”
The source further informed that Aditya Dhar is now taking time off to rework the script and scale down some of the action sequences to bring it into a particular budget structure. “The market is not lucrative as the digital streaming market has come down in the last 2 years. With films not fetching the requisite value of digital rights, the studios have asked a lot of directors to rework their budgets. Aditya Dhar is now working to get budgets in place,” the source said.
