After Kill, Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt is working on a new project with Sunny Deol. The film was earlier titled Lakhan, but reports now suggest it may be renamed Parashuram. An official announcement is expected soon from the makers.
According to Pinkvilla, the makers feel Parashuram is a stronger and more impactful title. The film is likely to go on floors in October this year. This update has already created curiosity among fans and industry followers.
Fans are excited to see Sunny Deol return to action. At the same time, there is a clear demand for a fresh storyline. Many feel that even a simple plot can work if the presentation feels new and engaging.
Some viewers have also advised the makers to avoid making the film too niche. Trade experts are positive, but they have warned about repeating similar themes seen in recent action films. Variety in storytelling remains important.
Since the film is expected to be action-heavy, there are suggestions to cast a strong villain. A powerful antagonist could enhance the overall impact. Comparisons with Kill are already being made, especially in terms of intensity and action design.
Budget control is another key factor. A well-cut trailer can create strong opening numbers and boost collections during the first weekend. Consistency in performance during weekdays will also be important for long-term success.
Interestingly, another project titled Mahavatar Parashuram is also in development. It is part of Hombale’s franchise that began with Mahavatar Narsimha, adding more attention to similar mythological themes.
At the same time, Vicky Kaushal is working on Maddock’s Mahavatar based on Parashuram. This overlap has raised questions on social media about repeated use of such titles and themes across multiple projects.
The release date for Sunny Deol’s film is yet to be confirmed. With growing expectations and competition, it remains to be seen whether this project will deliver a fresh experience and strong box office performance.
