Bollywood fans are abuzz with news of Ranveer Singh’s jam-packed upcoming schedule. The highly anticipated Shaktimaan trilogy seems to be in full swing, but according to reports, its release will strategically happen after the completion of another eagerly awaited action flick, Don 3.
Don 3 Takes Precedence
Sources close to the actor indicate he’ll kickstart filming Don 3 with Farhan Akhtar in late 2024. Given the movie’s demanding action sequences and complex production, it’s predicted to take precedence over starting Shaktimaan.
Shaktimaan: Worth the Wait?
Ranveer Singh taking on the iconic role of India’s beloved superhero has set expectations sky-high. Though originally rumored for a 2023 release, it appears the trilogy will land on screens during a major festive weekend in 2026. This allows plenty of time for meticulous pre-production work, special effects development, and proper scripting.
Big Budget, High Ambition
The team behind Shaktimaan, backed by Sony Pictures India and Sajid Nadiadwala, are going big! Rumors of a staggering 300 crores budget per film hint at an extravaganza. With director Basil Joseph (Minnal Murali) on board, this trilogy promises a fresh take on the classic hero while ensuring cinematic spectacle.
Fan Reactions Are Mixed
Some fans are a bit disappointed with the longer wait for Shaktimaan’s return. Yet, others express excitement that both Don 3 and Shaktimaan will benefit from ample production time and attention to detail. After all, a rushed or lackluster adaptation wouldn’t do justice to either iconic title.
What We Know So Far
While official release dates haven’t been announced, it seems we’re getting Don 3 first, followed by the exciting Shaktimaan trilogy. Scripting for the superhero tale is expected to wrap sometime in 2024, with extensive pre-production following later that year.
