Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar's next project could be...

According to a report in Variety India, Aditya Dhar is taking his time before announcing his next project. Though there’s no official confirmation yet, industry chatter suggests he is currently weighing multiple ideas for what would be his fourth film after Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

The report quoted a source saying that Dhar is considering three directions: The Immortal Ashwatthama, a historical epic, or a large-scale sports drama. His next move is expected to be one of these, unless a fresh concept takes precedence.The Immortal Ashwatthama continues to be close to Aditya Dhar’s heart. He had invested significant time in developing the ambitious mythological project earlier, but it was put on hold due to its high budget. Now, with his credibility as a filmmaker stronger than ever, there’s a possibility he may revisit it if the conditions align.

At the same time, the ace director is reportedly drawn to a historical story set during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. He has been in discussions with Ranveer Singh regarding the project, and they are likely to revisit those conversations once things settle down post the Dhurandhar wave. The subject, filled with drama, politics, and action, is seen as a fresh space with a grand cinematic scale.

Apart from these, a sports drama is also said to be in the early stages of development. While not much is known yet, it is expected to match Dhar’s larger-than-life storytelling style.For now, Aditya Dhar is expected to take a breather after dedicating nearly three years to his last film.
