Ranveer singh blocks his dates for 2 years; will work on don 3 and shaktimaan

Ranveer Singh is considered one of the most versatile actors in the film industry, showcasing his talent across various genres, from modern love to period drama and thriller. It looks like Ranveer is not ready to stop just yet, as the actor is set to exhibit his talent in three upcoming action films. Contrary to rumors about having just an extended cameo in Rohit Shetty's cop drama, Ranveer will play a significant role in Singham Again, with a shooting schedule spanning over 50 days.

Ranveer Singh Blocks Next 2 Years

According to sources close to the development have revealed that, Ranveer has blocked his shooting dates for over two years. The source revealed, "Ranveer Singh will be filming his parts in the Ajay Devgn-led 'Singham Again' until the end of April. Although a substantial portion of his scenes is already complete, he has some remaining work that will be wrapped up by the end of April. Contrary to speculations, Ranveer has a well-crafted role in 'Singham Again,' extending beyond just an extended cameo."

Don 3 and Shaktimaan Update

Following the conclusion of Rohit Shetty's film, Ranveer will commence look tests for Farhan Akhtar's ‘Don 3’. Sources suggest that Ranveer perceives ‘Don 3’ as a significant responsibility, as he will be carrying forward the legacy of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Farhan aims to commence filming in August or September of the current year, with a plan to complete the movie by March 2025. Subsequently, Ranveer will embark on his third film, ‘Shaktimaan’.

The source added, "Right after 'Don 3,' it’s time for 'Shaktimaan.' The film has been in the writing stage for over three years now, and the team has finally crafted a script worthy of doing justice to the legacy of Shaktimaan. The film will be directed by Basil Joseph, with Sony Pictures India and Sajid Nadiadwala as the producers."

On the work front, Ranveer is also exploring a South Indian project and is in talks with several directors. The actor was most recently seen in Karan Johar's film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, where he co-stars with Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, among others.

Dunki on ott - don't miss out! binge-watch shah rukh khan's emotional range on this platform now

Calling all SRK fans! The wait is over for Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan's last film has dropped on Netflix finally. Just this morning, Khan played the eternal Valentine, teasing fans on Netflix with a promise of something exciting coming soon. Well, the wait ended at midnight as Netflix dropped the bombshell - Dunki is now available to stream! So, celebrate love, laughter, and the King of Bollywood all in one, courtesy of Netflix.

Shah Rukh Khan's roaring return

After a five-year hiatus, Shah Rukh Khan stormed back onto the silver screen in 2023, delivering a triumphant trifecta of blockbusters - Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. His absence, following the underwhelming performance of Zero (2018), had left fans yearning for his return. But when he finally returned, the Badshah of Bollywood roared back like a beast. Both Pathaan and Jawan shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing films of the year. This remarkable comeback cemented Khan's position as one of the most dominant forces in Indian cinema.

Shah Rukh Khan's first collaborations

While Pathaan was released on Amazon Prime Video, Jawan and Dunki released on Netflix. Dunki offers a unique experience compared to both. Unlike Pathaan and Jawan, Dunki marks a fresh collaboration for Khan, teaming him up with acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani, alongside Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. This distinct combination sets Dunki apart from the action-packed ventures of Pathaan and Jawan, piquing the audience's curiosity and promising a different flavour altogether.

Dunki story

Driven by big dreams of a better life and fueled by desperation, four friends from a rural Indian village embark on a clandestine and perilous journey, their sights set on the shores of the United Kingdom. Their path, however, is anything but ordinary. They choose the dangerous ‘donkey flight’, a twisted network of illegal routes spanning continents, each step fraught with danger and uncertainty. Smugglers become their guides, shadowy figures navigating them through hidden borders, dangerous territory, and the ever-present threat of authorities. With each sunrise, they take risks for their freedom, their futures, and even their lives, all for the elusive promise of a new dawn on foreign soil.
