New Delhi: In the next two years, Ranveer Singh, who last featured with Alia Bhatt in Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani', will be hard at work filming his next projects. The actor will star in Basil Joseph's film Shaktimaan as the titular character, according to a report from Pinkvilla.
It is reported that the movie will start production in May of the following year. The film is scheduled for release in 2026.

The film will be directed by Basil Joseph, with Sony Pictures India and Sajid Nadiadwala as the producers,” a source told Pinkvilla.
