film. This time, the spectacle is doubled, as acclaimed filmmaker Ketan Mehta has come on board for the project. Titled Jai Somanth, it is a "seminal tale of Indian civilisation." Already being touted as one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious historical films, the period drama is slated for release in 2027. Mehta is writing and directing the project, which is being bankrolled under the banners of Bhansali Productions and Maya Movies.

The team has promised it is going to be a "one-of-its-kind cinematic spectacle." All About Jai Somnath Jai Somnath takes us back to 1025–1026 CE, when Mahmud of Ghazni attacked and looted the Somnath Temple in Gujarat. This marked a key moment in Indian history. It's been 1,000 years since the attack on the temple and its later revival. The religious and historical stands as a symbol of India’s unbreakable spirit and the richness of its civilisation. Jai Somanth revisits a pivotal chapter of the country's past and is expected to resonate strongly with audiences. Bhansali and Mehta, both from Gujarat, have promised to deliver "historical depth and cinematic scale" with their collaboration.
