Set in medieval India, the film will tell the story of one of history’s greatest warriors. The project reportedly has a staggering budget of ₹400 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date.
Return to Period Films
Ranveer’s best work has often come in period settings — Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat remain among his most acclaimed performances. This new project sees him return to a genre where he has consistently excelled.
Preparation
The actor has already begun an intensive physical transformation for the role, working with a team of international fitness trainers and historians to authentically portray the character.

The film will feature cutting-edge VFX from international studios and will be shot across multiple countries in India and abroad. It’s being designed for a premium IMAX and large-format release.
Release Plans
While the film isn’t expected to release until late 2027, the trade is already buzzing with box office predictions. Given Ranveer’s track record with period films, analysts project a worldwide gross exceeding ₹1,000 crore.
