Pralay: Ranveer Singh’s Zombie Thriller Finally Rolls Cameras in Mumbai

Fresh off the blockbuster high of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh isn’t slowing down — he’s diving headfirst into genre territory Bollywood rarely touches. “Pralay,” his ambitious zombie action thriller, officially went on floors in Mumbai today, and it’s already being called one of the most technically ambitious Indian films in production right now.

Pralay: Overview

A Film of Firsts

“Pralay” is stacked with milestones. It marks Jai Mehta’s first outing as a feature director — son of filmmaker Hansal Mehta, he previously helmed Lootere and co-directed Scam 1992. For Ranveer, it’s his first time stepping behind the scenes as a producer. And for Kalyani Priyadarshan, fresh off her breakout in Lokah, it’s her long-awaited entry into Hindi cinema.

Backed by Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios alongside Ranveer’s Maa Kasam Films and Hansal Mehta-Sahil Saigal’s True Story Films, the project is being mounted on a massive scale with an international technical crew on board.

Real Locations, Real Scale

Rather than leaning on studio sets, the makers are shooting across live Mumbai locations to capture raw texture and unpredictability — key ingredients for a survival story built around courage and human instinct when the world collapses around its characters. After months of intensive pre-production, the cameras are finally rolling on what’s shaping up to be one of Indian cinema’s most talked-about upcoming releases.
