Updated : Apr 22, 2026

Riding high on the success of Karthikeya 2 and Thandel, director Chandoo Mondeti is ready to take things to the next level. He is currently developing an ambitious, large-scale thriller set against the ancient and culturally rich backdrop of Ujjain. 

The script is said to be a highly atmospheric drama that perfectly blends historical elements with gripping mythological suspense. To match the grand vision of the story, a massive cross-industry collaboration is taking shape. Bollywood powerhouse Karan Johar will be producing this visual spectacle under his Dharma Productions banner. 

On the casting front, Rana Daggubati is expected to play the lead, making him a perfect fit for this intense historical setup. Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has also been locked in for a highly significant role, elevating the project's scale even further. 

Adding to the hype, the makers are currently in advanced talks to cast a third major hero. Designed as a true pan-India experience, this lavishly mounted project aims to combine the authentic storytelling of South Indian cinema with the massive commercial appeal of Bollywood.
