Ranveer Singh was recently linked to an adaptation of Amish Tripathi’s The Immortals of Meluha, with reports claiming he acquired the rights and would play Lord Shiva. However, Amish denied the speculation, saying that nothing has been signed yet.
Actor Ranveer Singh has been in the spotlight ever since Dhurandhar hit theatres in December 2025. Adding to the buzz, Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), released on March 19, 2026, has also been breaking box office records. While the 40-year-old actor is yet to announce a new film, reports claimed that Ranveer had acquired The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi to develop it with Birla Studios and was expected to play Lord Shiva.

However, Amish has now denied the reports. Speaking to Variety India, Tripathi said, “The rights for the Shiva Trilogy are with me. And nothing has been signed with anyone as yet. Of course, I have huge respect for Ranveer, and am a big fan of his. But this news is not true.”
The Immortals of Meluha was initially set to be adapted into a big-budget film by Karan Johar, with Karan Malhotra attached to direct. Johar had acquired the rights in 2012, but the project was eventually shelved due to concerns over possible backlash regarding the portrayal of an Indian God on screen.
