Dhanush Replaces Ram Charan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Next Mythological Drama

Dhanush is all set to headline the much-anticipated mythological drama from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s production house, taking over the lead role originally linked to Ram Charan. This development follows widespread speculation about a collaboration between Ram Charan and the legendary Bollywood filmmaker, which had generated considerable buzz among fans and industry watchers alike.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for his grand cinematic vision, will be producing the film, while direction reins are in the hands of PS Mithran, who has maintained a long-standing association with Bhansali Productions. Details about why Ram Charan exited the project remain under wraps, but the production team moved swiftly to secure Dhanush, who reportedly gave his immediate approval.

Dhanush, currently busy with Rajkumar Periyasamy’s "D55" as well as upcoming films with Mari Selvaraj and Pachaimuthu Thamizharasan, has a packed schedule. His next film, "Kara", is already slated to hit screens this Friday, keeping his fans excited. The untitled mythological drama is expected to go on floors in early 2027, once Dhanush completes his ongoing commitments.

With this unexpected casting switch, anticipation is high to see how Dhanush brings his signature intensity to the mythological genre. Fans can look forward to more updates on casting and production details as the project moves closer to its launch.
