Ranveer Singh is set to star in "Pralay," a grand-scale ₹300 crore zombie apocalypse film that promises to be a landmark in Indian cinema. Following his recent successes, Ranveer is diving into this ambitious project that marks a first-of-its-kind genre attempt at such a scale in Bollywood.

Produced jointly by Hansal Mehta’s True Story Films and Ranveer’s Ma Kasam Films, "Pralay" is directed by Jai Mehta, who is making his feature directorial debut.

Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan makes her Bollywood debut as the female lead, a casting decision influenced by Ranveer himself, highlighting her pivotal role in the survival saga.

Scheduled to begin filming in mid-2026, the production will transform Mumbai into a haunting post-apocalyptic landscape using cutting-edge AI-driven digital effects inspired by "The Hunger Games." With its massive budget and international production team, "Pralay" aims to set new benchmarks for Indian genre films. The project has already sparked excitement among fans eager to see Bollywood venture boldly into zombie thriller territory.

As preparations ramp up, all eyes are on Ranveer Singh and Jai Mehta to deliver a visually stunning and gripping story that could redefine Bollywood’s approach to big-budget genre filmmaking. Fans can look forward to an innovative cinematic experience when "Pralay" releases in the coming years.
