Jio Studios and B62 Studios officially announced their latest project on July 27. It’s a film directed by Aditya Dhar, known for Uri: The Surgical Strike.
The film boasts an impressive cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The announcement was accompanied by a striking black-and-white photo of the actors with Dhar, which quickly became a hot topic among fans and media. Production for the film began on July 25.
Aditya Dhar’s Next Is A Period Action Thriller
Although the press release did not disclose many details about the film’s plot, reports suggest it will be a period-action thriller set against the complex geopolitical backdrop of India and Pakistan. Early speculation linked Ranveer Singh to the role of Ajit Doval, India’s current National Security Advisor, in his younger years.
However, it has now been reported that R Madhavan, not Ranveer Singh, will play the role inspired by Ajit Doval.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “It is R Madhavan who plays the coveted part. He’ll have a cool, different look in the film and it’s something that the actor is excited about. Like always, he’s giving his heart and soul to this role as well. The makers are confident that it’s something to watch out for.”
No Details About Ranveer Singh’s Character As Of Now
The source did not clarify if the character would be named Ajit Doval or merely inspired by him. Details about Ranveer Singh’s role in the film remain under wraps.
This film marks Aditya Dhar’s second attempt to portray Ajit Doval’s character. In Uri: The Surgical Strike, Paresh Rawal’s character, Govind Bhardwaj, was based on Doval.
The production team has also confirmed that the film is not titled Dhurandhar, as previously speculated. The project remains untitled at this stage. Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios, along with Lokesh Dhar and Aditya Dhar from B62 Studios, are producing the film.
