Overview
- Multiple Indian outlets on Wednesday reported that Akshay Kumar and Rana Daggubati are circling a large-scale historical thriller set in the temple city of Ujjain.
- The film is reported to be directed by Karthikeya 2 filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti and to mix historical storytelling with mythic or mystical elements.
- Coverage says Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is backing the venture for a pan-India release, though the producers have not confirmed any details.
- Reports describe Rana as the likely lead with Akshay in a key role, and they add that talks for a third star are underway based on unnamed sources and a PRO’s post on X.
- This aligns with the industry’s push for big-budget mythology-rooted spectacles and follows shifts in Mondeti’s slate, with his animation project Vayuputra reportedly on hold.
