Filmmaker Aditya Dhar is reportedly considering a new large-scale project following the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, with early discussions hinting at a possible collaboration with actor Ranveer Singh for a historical drama.
Multiple Big-Screen Ideas Under Consideration
According to industry reports, Dhar is currently weighing three major concepts for his next film:
- A revival of his long-discussed mythological epic The Immortal Ashwatthama
- A high-budget historical drama
- A large-scale sports-based film
Sources suggest that while The Immortal Ashwatthama remains a passion project for the director, its high production cost previously stalled development. However, with Dhar now established as a bankable filmmaker, studios may be more open to backing such ambitious ventures.
Possible Historical Film Set in Mauryan Era
Another strong possibility is a historical epic set during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. Reports indicate that preliminary discussions have taken place with Ranveer Singh for this project, though both sides are reportedly waiting for the current momentum around Dhurandhar to settle before making a final decision.
Collaboration Not Yet Finalised
Industry insiders clarify that no project has been officially locked. Dhar is expected to take a break after the extensive production cycle of Dhurandhar, which took nearly three years to complete. His next film is expected to be significantly larger in scale and ambition.

What’s Next
