Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film Pralay is set to commence filming later than previously anticipated. Initially reported in May 2026 to start production in August, it has now been confirmed that the shooting will take place in September 2026. This change in schedule includes a significant segment of the shoot planned to occur in Australia.

The film is directed by Jai Mehta and is billed as one of Singh’s most ambitious projects to date. Positioned within the post-apocalyptic zombie thriller genre, Pralay is set against a dystopian backdrop of Mumbai, promising to draw in audiences with its unique narrative.

Singh’s Preparations for the Role

As reported by Pinkvilla, Ranveer Singh has already begun preparations for his demanding role in the film. He is undergoing rigorous physical training to meet the requirements of his character, which demands both physical prowess and emotional depth.

A source close to the project mentioned, “Ranveer will commence shooting for the Jai Mehta directorial in the latter half of 2026. He has officially started his preparation, as this film requires intense physical and emotional readiness, owing to the ambitious scale and challenging genre.” This early involvement underscores Singh’s commitment to delivering a compelling performance.

In addition to his preparations, the actor is reportedly engaging actively with the development team, ensuring that the project aligns with his artistic vision prior to the start of filming.

Pre-Production Activities In Australia

Pre-production efforts for Pralay are currently taking place in Australia, where Jai Mehta and his team are working alongside technicians with experience in international film productions. The focus of these preparations is to create an expansive post-apocalyptic environment.

Visual effects will reportedly play a crucial role in the film, bringing the thrilling zombie world to life. The writing team is also in the process of fine-tuning the screenplay, while further expanding the film’s universe centered around zombies.

The film’s premise revolves around a married couple struggling to survive during a zombie outbreak in a ravaged version of Mumbai. This storyline aims to offer a fresh perspective on the zombie genre within Indian cinema, integrating large-scale action with emotionally resonant storytelling.
