Overview
- Pralay went on floors Sunday, Aug. 16, with cameras rolling on live locations across Mumbai after several months of technically intensive pre-production.
- Ranveer Singh headlines the film and is listed as a producer, Jai Mehta directs, and Kalyani Priyadarshan has been cast in a pivotal female role.
- Producers include Birla Studios, True Story Films and Singh’s Maa Kasam Films, and the shoot uses Indian and overseas technical crews to build a VFX-heavy, realistic city-set spectacle.
- The production was reportedly moved from Australia to Mumbai because of location-permission issues and media reports that Singh wanted to stay close to his pregnant wife; budget reports of about Rs 300 crore remain unconfirmed.
- The film follows Singh’s recent Dhurandhar duology success and could raise technical and box-office expectations for Hindi tentpoles, though plot details and a release date have not been announced.
