Reports have surfaced suggesting that Ranveer Singh may have exited his upcoming post-apocalyptic zombie thriller Pralay due to alleged creative differences with director Jai Mehta. These rumors emerged shortly after the actor’s reported departure from Don 3, raising questions about his commitment to his next project.
However, sources close to the production have firmly dismissed these claims. According to an insider, the reports are “completely baseless” and that Ranveer Singh remains fully committed to the project.
Pralay is currently deep in its pre-production phase. The screenplay was developed over several months by Jai Mehta and his co-writer Vishal Kapoor. After Ranveer agreed to the project, it underwent further rounds of development, concept-proofing, and pre-visualization.
“Reports suggesting any uncertainty around Pralay are completely baseless,” a source told Republic World. “Ranveer and Jai have been in continuous discussions and have firmly locked the script.”
The film, backed by acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta (father of director Jai Mehta), is set to be a massive spectacle of Indian cinema. “When Ranveer saw his directorial work, he was impressed. Then Jai pitched the idea to him. Once Ranveer said he liked the idea, we invested in developing it—helping Jai create the world he wants to present in the film. Ranveer’s conviction and commitment towards both the script and Jai has enabled Pralay,” Hansal Mehta told The Hollywood Reporter.
Pralay is on track to go on floors by August 2026, with the team actively gearing up for production.
