About Pralay

Pralay is said to be a survival thriller set in a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic landscape. With Ranveer Singh leading the film and Kalyani Priyadarshan joining him, the project is reportedly being mounted on a budget of around Rs 300 crore.

If the reported figure is accurate, it would place Pralay among the most expensive standalone films of Singh's career.

The film also marks a major shift in direction for the actor following the success of Dhurandhar, taking him into the world of large-scale survival drama and post-apocalyptic storytelling.

Pralay is being produced by Ananya Birla's Birla Studios in association with True Story Films and Maa Kasam Films. The film is scheduled for release in 2027.

Ranveer Singh's Earlier Appearance Sparked Speculation

Speculation around the film had already intensified in July when Ranveer Singh was spotted leaving Hansal Mehta's office with his face covered. The appearance led to speculation that the actor could be concealing his look for his upcoming film, Pralay.

Now, with filming officially underway, the project has moved beyond speculation and into production.
