Ranveer Singh is all set to explore a completely new genre with his upcoming film Pralay. After the massive success of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, the actor is now moving into the world of zombie action with this ambitious thriller. The film has officially gone on floors in Mumbai.
Directed by Jai Mehta, son of acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Pralay marks an important milestone in his career. Jai previously directed Lootere and worked as a co-director on Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. With Pralay, he is making his feature-film directorial debut.
The film stars Malayalam actress Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead. Known for her work in the South Indian film industry, Kalyani is also making her Hindi film debut with Pralay. This makes the project particularly special for both the actress and director.
The film also marks Ranveer Singh’s debut as a producer. He is backing the project through his production banner Maa Kasam Films. The movie is being produced in collaboration with Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios and Hansal Mehta and Sahil Saigal’s True Story Films.
Pralay is being planned as a large-scale survival spectacle rather than a conventional zombie movie. The story revolves around survival, courage and the human instinct to protect what matters most when the world begins to fall apart.
Mumbai will play a major role in the film’s setting. The makers are planning to shoot extensively at real locations across Mumbai and nearby areas. Using real-world locations is expected to give the movie a more realistic and intense atmosphere while making the zombie outbreak feel closer to the audience.
The film has already gone through several months of extensive and technically demanding pre-production. An international technical crew has also been brought on board to handle the movie’s large-scale action sequences and visual requirements.
With Ranveer Singh stepping into the role of producer, Kalyani Priyadarshan making her Hindi debut and Jai Mehta directing his first feature film, Pralay brings together several major firsts. The combination of a fresh genre, ambitious scale and a strong creative team has already made the film one of the most talked-about upcoming projects in Indian cinema.
As filming begins in Mumbai, fans can expect more updates about the cast, storyline, first look and release plans in the coming months.
