Following the box office triumph of his spy thriller Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh is set to star in two major upcoming projects: the action-packed Don 3 directed by Farhan Akhtar and the zombie apocalypse film Pralay helmed by Jay Mehta. Dhurandhar has grossed over Rs 350 crore worldwide, solidifying Singh's comeback in Bollywood. Filming for Don 3 begins in 2026, with Pralay to follow shortly after.
Dhurandhar's Box Office Dominance
Ranveer Singh's latest release, the spy action thriller Dhurandhar, produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, has emerged as a major hit in 2025. The film, where Singh plays the role of Hamza Ali Mazari, an undercover agent, crossed Rs 350 crore at the global box office within its first ten days. This success marks a strong resurgence for Singh, outperforming expectations and surpassing earnings of his previous works like Gully Boy.
Confirmed Upcoming Projects
A sequel, Dhurandhar: Part 2 – Revenge, is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19, 2026. It will delve deeper into Singh's character backstory, exploring his training and high-risk missions in enemy territory.
Next, Singh takes on the iconic Don franchise in Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar. This third installment follows the 2006 and 2011 films starring Shah Rukh Khan. Filming is set to commence in early 2026, with the schedule to be finalized in January. Akhtar's return to directing adds anticipation, given the franchise's legacy in action-thrillers.
Pralay: Venturing into Zombie Genre
After Don 3, Singh will lead Pralay, a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller directed by Jay Mehta, son of filmmaker Hansal Mehta. Known for Scam 1992, Mehta brings credibility to this ambitious project. Filming is expected to start between July and August 2026, primarily in Mumbai, where large sections of the city will be digitally aged for an abandoned, dystopian look. The story follows a protagonist navigating survival amid zombies, incorporating themes of social and moral collapse, inspired by global hits but tailored for Indian audiences. A source noted, 'Ranveer and Jay aim to make a significant impact with this untapped genre,' highlighting its potential to rival Korean zombie films with advanced special effects.
These projects position Singh to expand his versatile repertoire, blending established franchises with innovative storytelling in Bollywood.
