Legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is set to commence work on his next untitled film that filmmaker Nag Ashwin is directing. The science-fiction flick also stars Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The acting great will begin filming tomorrow in the city of Hyderabad.
“Amitabh Bachchan is off to Hyderabad for the mahurat and first schedule of Nag Ashwin’s next film. He will be shooting for the next 5 to 7 days and then return to Mumbai. While Prabhas is expected to be a part of the mahurat shoot, it is still not clear if he will be shooting with Big B in the first schedule of this film,” a source close to the development informs an entertainment portal.
Though there is no information on the characters that Senior Bachchan, Prabhas and Deepika Padukone are playing, the film is reportedly set in a futuristic timeline against the backdrop of third world war. The producers have allocated a whopping production budged for the film. Once made, it will find its place among the biggest Indian films ever made.
The makers are planning to shoot the yet to be titled project over a period of next one year in multiple schedules. It is going to be high on visual effects. Not only in various popular Indian languages, the film will also hit screens in English.
Meanwhile, Prabhas is currently keeping busy with the final schedule of his next release Radhe Shyam, co-starring Pooja Hegde. The actor is then expected to juggle Adipurush, Salaar and Nag Ashwin’s film.
Deepika Padukone, on the other hand, is busy with Pathan. She also has The Intern and Fighter in the pipeline. The actress has already completed Dharma Productions’ untitled film directed by Shakun Batra.
Amitabh Bachchan is waiting for the release of his much-delayed film Chehre. After Chehre, his next release will be Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
