After the massive success of Dhurandhar, fans are eagerly waiting for Dhurandhar 2 and Ranveer Singh’s upcoming film Pralay. While the genre is completely different, Pralay is already creating buzz for its massive scale.
The film is being described as India’s most expensive Mumbai-based project to date. It is a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller that aims to present the city in a never-seen-before avatar using advanced visual technology.
Directed by Jai Mehta, the film will turn Mumbai into a futuristic zombieland. Cutting-edge, AI-driven visuals will be used to depict large-scale destruction across the city.
According to sources, Mumbai’s entire landscape will be digitally mapped to create a devastating post-apocalyptic scenario. The scale of destruction is being compared to international films like A Quiet Place and 28 Days Later.
The high budget of Pralay is largely due to the complexity involved in recreating a ruined Mumbai. The makers will digitally construct the city in a crumbling and decayed state, which requires extensive planning and visual detailing.
AI-driven visuals will play a major role in bringing this ambitious vision to life. The technology is expected to deliver a realistic portrayal of a destroyed Mumbai, something Indian audiences have never experienced on the big screen.
Pralay marks the theatrical directorial debut of Jai Mehta, son of acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta. Jai previously co-directed the widely acclaimed Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Lootere.
The film is co-produced by Hansal Mehta and Sameer Nair’s Applause Entertainment. The association adds further credibility to the ambitious project.
The zombie survival genre remains largely unexplored in mainstream Bollywood. This makes Pralay a bold and risky venture, especially given its scale, budget, and star power.
The film is expected to draw inspiration from global zombie thrillers such as 28 Days Later, I Am Legend, and World War Z. The makers aim to deliver a fresh cinematic experience for Indian audiences.
While expectations are high, Pralay is undoubtedly a major gamble. Fans are hopeful that this ambitious concept pays off and sets a new benchmark for genre films in Indian cinema.
