Dhanush and Kareena Kapoor in Talks for Bhansali's Mythological Jungle Film

Dhanush could soon be seen sharing the screen with Kareena Kapoor Khan in an untitled mythological jungle adventure, with Sanjay Leela Bhansali backing the ambitious project. The film, to be helmed by Tamil director PS Mithran, is generating buzz due to its unique setting amidst dense forests and a story centered around an elephant.

Kareena Kapoor has reportedly been approached for a parallel lead, and discussions are ongoing. If confirmed, this collaboration would mark the first on-screen pairing between Dhanush and Kareena, and end a long-standing professional gap between Kareena and Bhansali, who had almost worked together on Devdas and Ram-Leela in the past.

Bhansali is currently completing his film 'Love & War' starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. Once that wraps up, focus is expected to shift to this new venture, with pre-production scheduled to begin later this year and shooting planned for early 2027. The scale of the project and its mythological backdrop have already piqued interest on social media, with fans eagerly following casting updates and production news.
