Ajay Devgn has officially moved into his next dark genre outing, with cameras now rolling on an untitled horror-thriller backed by Devgn Films and Panorama Studios. The new film marks the latest step in a partnership that already struck a chord with audiences through Shaitaan and later strengthened its commercial momentum with Raid 2. This time, the banner is leaning deeper into suspense, with Rohit Jugraj set to direct Devgn in the lead role.
Shooting Begins On The New Horror-Thriller
The film has commenced shooting today, giving Devgn another high-interest project in a phase where his production choices have been closely watched. The untitled feature is being jointly produced by Ajay Devgn, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak. With Devgn both headlining and producing, the project arrives as a major addition to the growing horror-thriller space in Hindi cinema.
What makes the announcement stand out is the timing. After the success of Shaitaan in 2024 and Raid 2 in 2025, Devgn Films and Panorama Studios are clearly building on a collaboration that has already delivered results across sharply different genres. Moving back toward horror after Shaitaan also suggests confidence in the audience appetite for tension-driven storytelling anchored by star power.
Rohit Jugraj Steps In As Director
Rohit Jugraj takes charge of direction on the new film, bringing in a filmmaker with a distinct visual and genre sensibility. While the title and wider cast details are still under wraps, the decision to begin the shoot now signals that the project has moved well beyond development chatter and into active production.
For Devgn, the film adds another moody, high-concept entry to a career that has often balanced franchise-heavy commercial cinema with darker dramatic material. The horror-thriller label alone is likely to generate curiosity, especially after Shaitaan gave him one of his strongest genre successes in recent years.
Ajay Devgn’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Devgn’s recent screen run has been notably varied. His last three confirmed releases include Shaitaan in 2024, the romantic drama Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha in 2024, and Raid 2 in 2025. Shaitaan emerged as a major success and reinforced his pull in intense, genre-led narratives, while Raid 2 extended one of his most bankable franchises. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, directed by Neeraj Pandey and co-starring Tabu, arrived as a very different dramatic turn in the same period. His recent release couple of months back Dhamaal 4 proved to be a big hit. Before this, his Son Of Sardaar 2 bombed at box office and De De Pyaar De 2 was average grosser.
That gives this new untitled horror-thriller an interesting place in his current lineup. It sits between established franchise fare and darker standalone material, underlining how Devgn’s recent career phase has relied not just on nostalgia-driven sequels, but also on strategically chosen genre plays.
For Panorama Studios and Devgn Films, that balance is now becoming a pattern. And with production underway from today, this untitled horror-thriller is firmly one to watch.
