'Pralay' marks a significant venture for Ranveer Singh as he steps into the realm of genre filmmaking with a post-apocalyptic zombie survival thriller. Directed by Jai Mehta and produced under Hansal Mehta's True Story Films, the project began when Singh reached out to Mehta after being impressed by his previous work. The film aims to explore a rarely tackled genre in Indian cinema, with significant investment in world-building and visualisation. With a reported budget of ₹300 crore, the team is assembling an international crew to ensure the film meets global standards. Hansal Mehta has emphasized that the film is an original story, dismissing claims of it being inspired by the novel 'Blindness'. 'Pralay' is set to begin filming in mid-2026, with actor Kalyani Priyadarshan reportedly involved in the project.
