Dhurandhar Box Office Success Pushes Ranveer Singh's Pralay Budget To Shockingly High Figures

After Dhurandhar became the highest grossing Indian film in a single language, Ranveer Singh's professional choices are being closely eyed by fans. The Bollywood star was supposed to feature in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, which was officially greenlit in August 2023. However, after no new updates came, many believed that the movie was shelved. Farhan, in several recent interviews, hinted that the project was on the cards with Ranveer. However, of late, reports have been rife that the Befikre star has exited Don 3 after waiting for it to move forward. This has also prompted legal woes for Ranveer and Farhan's Excel Entertainment.

Now, new reports have surfaced about Pralay's budget. It is said that the movie is being planned on a budget of ₹300 crore+, making it the most expensive movie starring Ranveer. The fact that it comes after the success of Dhurandhar shows that investors are keen on going big on Ranveer's name as returns are guaranteed.    

₹300 crore reported budget for Pralay is a few crores short of the reported ₹350 crore budget for Siddharth Anand's big multi-starrer King. While a production timeline has been set for Pralay, official confirmation from the makers is awaited.
