Ranveer Singh's Pralay Not Delayed Amid Don 3 Controversy, Actor To Begin Shoot In August

Amid the controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3, it has now been reported that his upcoming movie, Pralay, is not getting delayed. If a report by Bombay Times is to be believed, Singh will begin shooting for Jai Mehta’s directorial in August this year.

An insider informed the entertainment portal that Ranveer Singh’s Pralay remains unaffected despite the recent non-cooperation directive issued by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). Calling the FWICE ban ‘unlawful’, the source stated, “Everything is in order and running as planned. FWICE’s unlawful directive has had no impact on the film whatsoever. Pralay will go on floors in August.”

However, it should be noted that the makers of the film have not issued any

statement as of now regarding the film’s shoot schedule.

What Do We Know About Pralay?

Pralay is a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller. Set in a post-apocalyptic Mumbai, Pralay will reportedly use AI-driven visuals to depict a crumbling, decayed version of the city. The project will be directed by Jai Mehta, son of filmmaker Hansal Mehta, marking his theatrical directorial debut. Jai previously co-directed Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Lootere, and is known for his realistic storytelling style.

The film is being co-produced by Hansal Mehta and Sameer Nair’s Applause Entertainment, adding further weight to what is shaping up to be one of the more unconventional Hindi films in development.

Ranveer Singh’s Don 3 Controversy

Ranveer Singh, who quit Don 3 previously, has been banned from the film industry by FWICE. The film body issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh on May 25. The federation claimed that the actor did not respond to multiple requests to appear in person and explain his side of the story. Excel Entertainment, which is backing Don 3, has also demanded Rs 45 crore from Ranveer Singh as compensation for pre-production expenses incurred before his exit.

Following the ban, Singh’s spokesperson also issued a statement and said that the actor does not wish to add to the speculation around the matter and believes such professional disagreements are best handled privately. “Throughout the recent developments surrounding Don 3, he has consciously chosen to maintain silence, believing that professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity and mutual respect,” a part of the statement read.
