Headlined by Ranveer Singh, ‘Pralay’ the ambitious new end-of-the-world action thriller, has officially gone on floors in Mumbai, marking the commencement of filming on one of the most audacious and scale-defining cinematic ventures in Indian cinema.
The film marks Ranveer Singh’s next major motion picture release following ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar – The Revenge’, which emerged as the highest-grossing film of all time. With ‘Pralay’ the actor once again ventures into an unexplored cinematic landscape that is new and disruptive. Widely regarded as one of the greatest performers of his generation, Ranveer not only headlines the film but also serves as a producer, taking on a story that demands both physical intensity and emotional conviction.
For Ananya Birla, ‘Pralay’ a Birla Studios production, reflects her ambition to push the landscape of cinema as a creative catalyst who is looking to collaborate with the modern game-changers in India.
For Hansal Mehta and Sahil Saigal’s True Story Films, it reflects a belief in creating disruption through content — an ethos this film carries at its core.
‘Pralay’ stars ‘Lokah’ breakout actress Kalyani Priyadarshan in a pivotal role, further bringing together an exciting new generation of talent.
Bringing together an extraordinary ensemble of creative and technical talent from India and around the world, ‘Pralay’ is directed by Jai Mehta, whose work on ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’, which he co-directed with Hansal Mehta, and ‘Lootere’ has earned widespread acclaim. The film plunges audiences into a relentless odyssey, unfolding against the terrifying possibility of an end-of-the-world catastrophe. It promises a genre-defining experience that is emotionally grounded while spectacular in scale.
Set against the unmistakable pulse and landscape of Mumbai, ‘Pralay’ is an original story that seeks to marry breathtaking spectacle with a deeply human emotional core. At its heart is a journey of survival, courage and the instinct to fight for what matters most when the world as you know it begins to collapse.
The film is being shot at live locations in and around Mumbai, as the makers embrace the physicality and unpredictability of real-world environments. This approach brings heightened scale, texture and realism to a world on the brink of annihilation, creating an immersive theatrical experience.
The cameras are now rolling on ‘Pralay’ which had been in highly technical & intensive pre-production for several months. It’s unprecedented mounting has already earned it the distinction of being one of the most talked about and highly anticipated projects coming out of Indian cinema in current times.
