Ranveer Singh is actively working on a film adaptation of Amish Tripathi’s novel, The Immortals of Meluha. This venture has the potential to be one of the most significant projects in his career. As reported by Pinkvilla, Singh has acquired the rights to the book through his production company, Maa Kasam Film, and has partnered with Birla Studios to transform this mythological tale into a trilogy.

The project is surrounded by speculation following Singh’s recent success with Dhurandhar. According to sources, the adaptation is currently in the writing phase. Ranveer Singh, alongside Ananya Birla, is reportedly engaged in developing the screenplay and expanding the narrative universe of the franchise.

Details About the Adaptation Process

Insiders indicate that Ranveer has long been enthusiastic about adapting Meluha for the cinematic platform. The acquisition of the rights occurred recently, and the project has been officially confirmed as in development. The production team aims to construct a long-term cinematic universe, intending to narrate the story across three films. The writing team is meticulously crafting the screenplay and developing the world surrounding the franchise.

Initial reports suggest that filming for the first instalment is anticipated to commence in 2028. The cast has yet to be finalised, with a particular focus on the script before selecting a director. It is noted that a decision regarding the director will only be made once the screenplay reaches a satisfactory stage.

At present, the emphasis is purely on content development, ensuring that the narrative aligns effectively with the overarching vision of the trilogy.

Ranveer Singh’s Upcoming Projects

Ranveer Singh is believed to have made a substantial financial investment to acquire the rights to The Immortals of Meluha, though the specific amount has not been disclosed. Before commencing production on the trilogy, he is scheduled to start filming for Aditya Dhar’s upcoming project in March 2027.
