Ranveer Singh is gearing up for one of his most ambitious projects yet — Pralay, a post‑apocalyptic zombie thriller directed by debutant Jai Mehta. The film is being mounted on a massive scale, with extensive world‑building and high‑end visual effects forming the backbone of its narrative. Adding to the excitement, Kalyani Priyadarshan is reportedly set to make her Bollywood debut with this project.
Major Shoot Planned in Australia
According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Pralay is expected to go on floors in September 2026, with a significant portion of the shoot planned in Australia. The country’s diverse landscapes and advanced production infrastructure are said to be ideal for the film’s large‑scale, dystopian setting.
“Ranveer has already begun preparations for the film and is totally in the world-building process. Ranveer will start shooting for the Jai Mehta directorial in the second half of 2026. The shoot is planned in Australia, and he has already kick-started prep. This is a film that requires intense physical and emotional preparation, given the scale and genre.”A Massive Visual Spectacle
Pralay is expected to be heavy on VFX, with a strong emphasis on visual detailing to bring its post‑apocalyptic world to life. The film’s budget is reportedly around ₹300 crores, making it significantly bigger than Ranveer’s recent action epic Dhurandhar.
Despite the risks associated with such a massive production, Ranveer has reportedly placed immense faith in the script and the vision of debutant director Jai Mehta. With its unique genre, high‑stakes storytelling, and global production scale, Pralay is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2026.
