Ranveer Singh is currently on one of the most successful waves he has experienced. His recent output, Dhurandhar, has proven to be a massive box office hit. Despite very limited promotion for the film, it is already streaking towards crossing the ₹400 crore benchmark in just ten days. This puts Ranveer on the pedestal of being considered one of the most bankable superstars. Now that he has this wave behind him, he is slated to prepare for one of the most ambitious ventures he has undertaken till now. This is titled Pralay and is going to be a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller.

As reported in Mid-Day, Pralay is expected to go on floors between July and August, 2026. The movie will be helmed by Jai Mehta, son of acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta, and will be the debut direction for Jai in cinema. He had previously jointly directed the acclaimed series “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story.” The show was highly acclaimed for its narrative and execution.

It’s alleged that Pralay transcends typical ‘zombie horror’ cinema. The film apparently employs ‘zombies’ as an allegory in an attempt to investigate the ‘collapse of society’ and ‘lack of emotions’ in a ‘grim’ world that is about to witness ‘the end’. The premise of the narrative is based on ‘survival’—not just against ‘zombies,’ but ‘from humanity itself.’

Before immersing himself in this massive venture, Ranveer will complete the highly anticipated Don 3 under the direction of Farhan Akhtar. He is expected to begin the shooting process as early as 2026. Once Don 3 will be completed, he will solely focus on his next film, Pralay. Reports state that the final shooting schedule of the upcoming film will be finalized in January.

On a surprising note, Pralay has a very interesting background. Mumbai will apparently experience a makeover in this film to make it look like a completely devastated city. Taking inspiration from series like The Hunger Games, the filmmakers have planned to shoot this film using massive sets with the help of AI technology.

The shooting will take place in Mumbai. Apart from Pralay, Ranveer has Dhurandhar 2: Revenge in the pipeline, which has been scheduled to release in theatres on March 19, 2026; it will go head-to-head with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups. The fact that Ranveer has action, end-of-world disasters, and franchises in the pipeline indicates that he is going to be a part of a very diverse genre of films in his career.

She was last seen in a full-fledged role in the 2014 film Super Nani, followed by a brief special appearance in Shamitabh in 2015.

Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt turned heads at the Filmfare OTT Awards, not only with their stylish appearances but also with a candid, heartwarming moment that has since taken social media by storm. Seated next to each other at the star-studded event, the two actors were spotted sharing an animated interaction that quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the evening.

Adding to the visual appeal, Vicky and Alia were seen twinning in elegant black outfits, effortlessly complementing each other’s looks. While fashion watchers admired their coordinated style, it was their off-guard exchange that truly caught everyone’s attention. In a series of photos and short clips that have now gone viral, Vicky is seen holding his phone and showing something to Alia, who reacts with visible surprise and delight.

In the viral images, Alia can be seen covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide and her expression filled with excitement and awe. Vicky, on the other hand, is smiling broadly, clearly enjoying her reaction. This single moment was enough to spark widespread speculation among fans, many of whom are convinced that Vicky was showing Alia a picture of his and Katrina Kaif’s newborn baby boy.

Social media users were quick to jump in with their own interpretations of the exchange. Reddit, Instagram, and X were flooded with comments dissecting the moment frame by frame. One Reddit user wrote, “Vicky probably showing baby Kaushal pics to Alia, this is so cute.” Another commented humorously, “Damn, all of them have babies now.” A third joked, “Universal baby dad rule: always show your baby photos to your coworkers.”

The clip and images were soon widely shared across platforms, with fans calling the moment wholesome, heart-melting, and incredibly relatable. Many praised the natural warmth between the two actors, noting how genuine and unscripted the interaction felt amid the glamour of the awards night. While neither Vicky Kaushal nor Alia Bhatt has confirmed what was actually on the actor’s phone, the speculation alone was enough to turn the moment into an internet sensation.

The buzz surrounding the interaction gained even more traction given recent developments in Vicky Kaushal’s personal life. Vicky and his wife Katrina Kaif welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on November 7, 2025. The couple shared the joyful news with fans through a heartfelt Instagram post, expressing gratitude, love, and happiness as they stepped into parenthood. Their announcement was met with an overwhelming outpouring of congratulations from fans, industry colleagues, and well-wishers, making it one of the most celebrated celebrity baby announcements of the year.

Alia Bhatt, who appeared visibly delighted in the viral photos, is no stranger to motherhood herself. The actor shares a daughter, Raha, with her husband Ranbir Kapoor. The couple welcomed Raha on November 6, 2022, and since then, Alia has often spoken candidly about how becoming a mother has deeply transformed her perspective on life, work, and relationships. Her emotional reaction in the viral moment resonated with many fans, who felt it reflected a shared understanding between two parents.

Beyond the personal connection, the moment also reminded fans of the strong professional bond between Vicky and Alia. The two previously shared screen space in the critically acclaimed film Raazi, where their chemistry was widely praised. Now, they are set to reunite once again for Love & War, one of the most highly anticipated upcoming films in Bollywood.

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Love & War is a big-budget historical drama that brings together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. The film is particularly exciting for fans as it reunites the Raazi pair while also featuring real-life couple Ranbir and Alia on screen. With Bhansali’s trademark grandeur, elaborate sets, and emotionally rich storytelling, expectations surrounding the film are already sky-high.

Originally slated for an Eid 2026 release, Love & War has reportedly encountered production delays and is now expected to arrive in cinemas by mid-2026. Despite the delay, anticipation for the film remains strong, with audiences eager to witness the powerful performances and epic scale Bhansali is known for.

As for the viral moment at the Filmfare OTT Awards, it continues to charm fans across the internet. Whether Vicky was indeed sharing a baby photo or something else entirely, the warmth, joy, and authenticity captured in that brief interaction have cemented it as one of the most memorable moments from the event. Sometimes, it’s these unscripted glimpses that leave the biggest impression.

When director Aditya Dhar unveiled the stellar cast of Dhurandhar, fans instantly knew they were in for a cinematic spectacle. A high-octane spy action thriller bringing together powerhouse performers like Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Akshaye Khanna—each in never-seen-before avatars—set expectations soaring. And while every actor delivered a memorable performance, it was Akshaye Khanna who truly emerged as the surprise scene-stealer.

Akshaye’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait left audiences spellbound. With his restrained intensity, commanding screen presence, and layered performance, the actor once again proved why he is regarded as one of the finest talents in Indian cinema. His character’s emotional depth and quiet menace added gravitas to the narrative, making Rehman Dakait one of the most talked-about characters in Dhurandhar.

Equally praised was Akshaye Khanna’s on-screen chemistry with Saumya Tandon, who played his wife in the film. Known widely for her role in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, Saumya surprised audiences with her nuanced performance in a serious, emotionally demanding role. Despite limited screen time together, the bond between the two characters felt organic and deeply moving, winning appreciation from viewers and critics alike.

Now, Saumya Tandon has opened up about her experience of working with Akshaye Khanna, sharing candid insights into their collaboration and one of the film’s most emotionally charged scenes. Speaking to Mid Day, Saumya revealed that despite not having much time to interact with Akshaye off camera, their on-screen chemistry came naturally.

“I didn’t even have time to interact with Akshaye, but I genuinely think we had great chemistry,” Saumya shared. “Somehow, just through our eyes, there was so much camaraderie between the two of us. I didn’t have to work hard to build that connection because he’s such a seasoned actor. He is completely present in the moment.”

Saumya’s words highlight Akshaye Khanna’s reputation as an actor who brings authenticity and depth to every scene. His ability to be emotionally present allowed their relationship on screen to feel intimate and real, even without extensive rehearsals or discussions.

One of the most talked-about moments in Dhurandhar is a powerful confrontation scene between Rehman Dakait and his wife, following the death of their son. In the scene, Saumya’s character slaps Akshaye’s character, overwhelmed by grief and anger. Recalling the filming of that sequence, Saumya revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes anecdote.

Talking about the introduction scene and the slap sequence, she said, “Initially, I was trying to cheat during the slap scene. Then Aditya came to me and said, ‘Don’t fake it, just go for it.’ I looked at Akshaye and asked, ‘Should I go for it?’ and he very nonchalantly said, ‘Go for it.’ So I did. I felt terrible slapping him, but I just went ahead and did it.”

The rawness of that moment translated powerfully on screen, leaving a lasting impact on audiences. The scene stands out not just for its emotional intensity, but also for the restraint shown by Akshaye’s character, who absorbs the pain without reacting aggressively.

Further details about the scene were later revealed by actor Naveen Kaushik, who played the character Donga in the film. In an interview with Filmygyan, Naveen explained the deeper emotional reasoning behind the moment and how carefully it was crafted.

“There were multiple shots. I think he got slapped seven times, because it’s a very powerful moment,” Naveen said. He added that Saumya’s character plays a crucial role in Rehman Dakait’s personal life. “She’s the one who, in a way, holds him together at home—not in public, but in private. Because of the life he has chosen and the decisions he has made, she’s lost her son.”

Naveen further praised the creative choices made by director Aditya Dhar and Akshaye Khanna, particularly the decision to show restraint rather than retaliation. “When she slaps him, he’s not going to react by grabbing her hand or pushing her away. He takes it. And he just hugs her and says, ‘Tu meri jaan hai.’”

This moment added emotional complexity to Rehman Dakait’s character, showing a vulnerable side that contrasted sharply with his public persona. It also cemented Saumya Tandon’s performance as one of the film’s most impactful emotional anchors.

With Dhurandhar receiving immense love and acclaim, fans are now eagerly looking forward to Dhurandhar 2, which is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026. Given the depth of characters and unresolved emotional arcs, expectations for the sequel are already sky-high.
