Overview
- Reports say the production is in its final phase with Vicky Kaushal reportedly finished and Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt completing remaining schedules.
- Bollywood Hungama and multiple outlets report the makers plan to unveil character posters or a motion-first look for the three leads on August 15, though the production has not officially confirmed the format.
- A viral Reddit post and updates to IMDb and Wikipedia showing Deepika Padukone on the cast list have driven speculation about a cameo, but filmmakers have not confirmed her involvement.
- News organisations note IMDb and Wikipedia can be edited by users, so the current online listings do not constitute verification of casting.
- The film is reported to be budgeted at about Rs.300 crore and is being positioned as a tentpole for the Republic Day 2027 weekend, with the August 15 reveal likely to shape the early publicity campaign.
