What Do the Reports Say?
According to reports, Ram Charan and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali are planning to work on a historical adventure drama set in a jungle backdrop — a period thriller with Charan in the lead role.
Gullak 2 and Shakti Shalini writer Durgesh Singh is said to have developed an adventure drama based on this idea into a full-length script suitable for a top-league actor. Bhansali is reportedly keen on casting Charan in the role, but it remains unclear whether he has pitched the film to the RRR actor. Sports Mole
This isn’t the first time these two have been linked. Earlier, the duo was supposed to collaborate on an adaptation of author Amish Tripathi’s popular book The Legend of Suheldev in 2024, but the plans did not move forward beyond the discussion stage. Could this jungle adventure finally be their moment?
Where Are Both Stars Right Now?
Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently working on Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles.
Ram Charan will next be seen in Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, a sports action drama featuring Janhvi Kapoor as co-lead — currently slated for April 30, 2026, though rumors of a further postponement persist. Sports Mole
Known for blockbusters like RRR that set the global benchmark for Indian period action cinema, Ram Charan stepping into a Bhansali universe would be a cinematic event unlike anything Indian audiences have seen.
