A "silent war" is brewing in Bollywood, with Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh, and Kartik Aaryan reportedly vying to lead the industry's first proper zombie action film. According to PeepingMoon, all three actors are working on their respective zombie action films, independently. While Go Goa Gone explored the zombie genre earlier, it was primarily a horror-comedy, not an action film. Roshan has acquired the adaptation rights to Will Smith's I Am Legend, while Singh is developing a zombie action film through his own production company.

Roshan's project, an adaptation of I Am Legend, is reportedly in progress, with Kill director Nikhil Bhat in talks to helm the film. However, the status of these discussions is unclear, as Bhat is already committed to other projects. The future of this adaptation also depends on Krrish 4, the fourth installment of Roshan's superhero franchise, which is also in the making. Meanwhile, Singh is developing a zombie action film through his production company, which he plans to officially launch later this year.

A trade source described the situation as a "silent war" between these Bollywood heavyweights, with their management teams striving to outpace each other. The source revealed that the shared representative agency may have fueled this competitive race, leading to an unexpected rivalry. With all three actors working on their respective zombie action films, it remains to be seen who will lead Bollywood's first proper zombie action film.

As the competition heats up, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on these projects. With Roshan, Singh, and Aaryan vying for the top spot, the outcome is far from certain. One thing is clear, however: Bollywood's first proper zombie action film is on the horizon, and it's going to be a wild ride.
