In April, Mythri Production officially announced their collaboration with director Prasanth Varma and Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh for an ambitious special project. The team confirmed that Prasanth had approached Ranveer to be part of a film within his cinematic universe.
This project is slated to be Ranveer’s immediate next venture after “HanuMan.” While Ranveer has expressed interest, the final confirmation is pending. An official announcement will be made once all details are settled, with Mythri Movie Makers backing the project.
Ranveer Singh and Prasanth Varma Part Ways
It was later reported that Ranveer Singh and Prasanth Varma’s joint venture, titled “Rakshas,” was scheduled to begin filming in July 2024. However, an unexpected twist occurred. Despite Ranveer’s visit to Hyderabad for a promotional photoshoot, the official announcement hit a roadblock.
Creative differences led to an amicable parting of ways between Ranveer and Prasanth. The duo explored various solutions but ultimately decided to move forward separately, with the promise of collaborating again in the future. Prasanth now aims to restart the casting process for “Rakshas” and bring this period film with mythological elements to the big screen before embarking on his next project, “Jai HanuMan.”
Ranveer Singh Takes Family over Film Projects
Sources close to Ranveer Singh reveal that he is deliberately slowing down his hectic film schedule. The actor is preparing to embrace fatherhood in 2024, prioritizing family time. While he continues to receive numerous script offers, Ranveer remains focused on spending quality moments with his loved ones. His confirmed projects include “Don 3” and “Shaktimaan,” with Aditya Dhar’s next film also in the writing stage.
