A rising budget
After the historic success of Dhurandhar (2025), Ranveer Singh is gearing up for Pralay, a high concept zombie drama set during the COVID-19 pandemic and directed by Jai Mehta. Mounted on an estimated Rs 300 crore budget, it marks his most expensive standalone project. A source told Pinkvilla, “Ranveer has entered into a backend profit sharing deal and is involved in every stage, from script development to VFX planning.” The movie is expected to go on floors in mid-2026. The development comes days after the actor reportedly received a death threat demanding Rs 10 crore, with police tightening security.
‘Absence of work has detrimental feelings’
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has reflected on the importance of staying busy and committed to work. He shared in his blog, “It is rather early for the blog. But some meetings have been set for an early morning hence this timing.” He added, “Absence of work has detrimental feelings, and so work work work till you can.” The veteran actor, who recently concluded hosting season 17 of his TV quiz reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, also recalled working till 5.30 am, saying he never regrets it. On the work front, he was last seen in Telugu sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD (2024).
