Ranveer Singh is gearing up to headline 'Pralay', a massive ₹300 crore zombie apocalypse movie co-produced by Hansal Mehta's True Story Films and his own Ma Kasam Films. Directed by Jai Mehta, with Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead, this project promises to bring Bollywood into the world of big-budget zombie thrillers.
The film's story, penned by Jai Mehta and Vishal Kapoor, explores survival in a dystopian world overrun by zombies. While drawing parallels to Jose Saramago's 'Blindness', 'Pralay' promises its own original twist. With an international production team and massive scope, it's set to raise the bar for Indian cinema.
Filming is slated to begin in mid-2026, with Mumbai transformed into a post-apocalyptic wasteland using AI-driven digital extensions. The film's visuals are inspired by 'The Hunger Games', promising a haunting, unrecognizable landscape. With a ₹300 crore budget, it's one of the most expensive projects in Indian cinema. The film's success could pave the way for more big-budget genre films in Bollywood.
Kalyani Priyadarshan, making her Bollywood debut, was convinced to join the project by Ranveer Singh himself. Her character will play a crucial role in the survival story, showcasing her versatility as an actress. With 'Pralay', Jai Mehta makes his feature directorial debut, bringing his signature realism to the zombie genre. As production gears up, expectations are high for this ambitious project.
