Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Dhurandhar have become some of the biggest box office hits in recent times, and the films have cemented Aditya Dhar’s position in the industry. While there has been no official update about the filmmaker’s next project,a new report suggests that Dhar is contemplating three scripts
: The Immortal Ashwatthama, a historical epic, and a high-scale sports drama. His next film will most likely be one of these.A Variety India report suggests that “The Immortal Ashwatthama remains a dream project for Aditya, and he is trying to work on it and revive it.” The update adds that his next project will be one of the three ideas mentioned above, unless something completely new takes priority.
A source told the portal, “He spent a lot
of time and effort developing that high-tech mythological epic before it was shelved for being too expensive. Now that Aditya has proved himself as a bankable director and studios are more willing to back his ambitious vision, he might look at reviving it. Whether he picks that up or not is entirely his call, but that’s one project that’s still on his table.”
Another source shared that Aditya is also considering a historical epic set during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. For this, he has reportedly had discussions with Ranveer Singh, but they are waiting for the Dhurandhar wave to settle before exploring that space. “It’s a space that hasn’t been explored yet. You have the same emotions of high drama, action, treachery, etc., and it can be an interesting space. Its canvas is big, and if Ashwatthama is not happening, this is the most obvious one,” the source revealed.
“Aditya is not going into another film immediately after Dhurandhar 2. He will take a break; he deserves that after spending three extensive years on one film. It’s too early to say which project he eventually takes up, but what’s certain is that his next film will be much bigger in scale and ambition,” the source concluded.
About Dhurandhar The Revenge
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge follows Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari, an undercover Indian agent who infiltrates Karachi’s Lyari underworld to dismantle an ISI-backed terror network. The narrative also explores his past as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a Sikh boy driven by dreams of joining the Indian Army and following in his father’s footsteps.
Produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, the film released on March 19 in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, and has since emerged as one of the biggest box office successes of the year. Apart from Ranveer Singh, the film also features R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.
