2024 was not so lucky for Bollywood except for a few films. However, there is a long list of projects arriving in the upcoming years and they are expected to take the industry back to its original position.
But right now, three producers on top of the list can somehow contribute to bringing a good phase for distributors.
The first in the list is Dinesh Vijan who has planned a few things along with the horror-comedy films that would leave an impression on the audience.
The teaser of Chhaava is already out and expectations are sky-high considering that it features Vicky Kaushal.
The next is Madhu Mantena, who is working on a relaunch of Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor. The title of the film is yet to be made official.
Farhan Akhtar is also planning a sequel to Dil Chahta Hai and there is Don 3 with Ranveer Singh playing the lead. There will also be another follow-up in the Fukrey franchise.
Well-known producer Sameer Nair is bringing some content on OTT, starting with Black Warrant, which will premiere in January 2025.
On the other hand, Yash Raj Films has already announced three big films. Two of them are included in the Spy Universe, with the first being War 2 followed by Alpha. Both are scheduled to arrive next year.
Pathaan 2 is soon expected to enter the production phase in the same franchise and there is Tiger vs Pathaan on the way. Then there is Mardaani 3 in the upcoming lineup.
After the disastrous performance of Jigra, Dharma Productions is planning for a bounce back with Dhadak 2. It will be followed by Shankara and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. All of these are expected to be released next year.
While Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy with a few films, his company Red Chillies Entertainment has not made any official announcements so far. It seems like they are not willing to make anything public for now but they need to buckle up.
2024 was almost a dry year with many ups and downs. But looking at the above-mentioned list, it can be said with conviction that Bollywood might take the top spot at one point.
