Ranveer Singh’s ‘Pralay’ to Start Production in September 2026 with Major Shoot Planned in Australia

Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film ‘Pralay’ is reportedly set to begin production in September 2026, according to recent industry updates. Earlier reports had suggested that filming would start in August, but the schedule has now been slightly pushed back. The film, directed by Jai Mehta, is being described as one of Ranveer Singh’s most ambitious projects to date. It is a large-scale post-apocalyptic zombie thriller set in a dystopian version of Mumbai, combining action-driven storytelling with emotional depth.

A significant portion of the film will reportedly be shot in Australia, where pre-production work is already underway. The production team is collaborating with international technicians who have prior experience in global-scale projects. This is expected to help in building the film’s extensive visual effects and immersive world-building elements. The screenplay is also still being refined as the creators continue developing the broader zombie universe in which the story takes place.

Ranveer Singh has already begun intensive preparation for his role, which is said to require both physical endurance and emotional depth. Sources indicate that he is undergoing training ahead of the demanding shoot schedule. The actor is also reportedly involved in the development process alongside the filmmakers.

The story of ‘Pralay’ is centered on a married couple trying to survive a devastating zombie outbreak in a dystopian Mumbai. While the film’s female lead has not yet been officially confirmed, early speculation suggested Kalyani Priyadarshan might make her Bollywood debut in the project. However, the makers have not confirmed any casting decisions so far. With its ambitious scale, international production plans, and genre-driven narrative, ‘Pralay’ is shaping up to be a major upcoming release in Indian cinema.
