Arjun Rampal is all set to return with a strong solo lead, fresh off the huge success of Dhurandhar.

Touted as family drama, the film combines amusement with a powerful social message honouring life's fundamental principles, enduring roots, and the people who truly count. This is not the typical masala; instead, it's a meaningful, relatable, and family-friendly reminder to value one's ancestry and loved ones.

The film, which is produced by Paras Software and Entertainment and VEMO Multimedia Pvt Ltd, is Arjun Rampal's first project with writer-director Shailesh Verma. It will be released in theatres in mid-August 2026.

This year, Shailesh Verma and Dr Vikas Kumar Modi (MD, VEMO) have three films planned that would have a significant societal impact.

Meanwhile, Arjun Rampal is also gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel to the spy action thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. He will return as Major Iqbal.

The upcoming film will also feature Ranveer Singh as spy Hamza Ali Mazari/Jaskirat Singh Rangi, alongside Sanjay Dutt (SP Chaudhary Aslam), R. Madhavan (Ajay Sanyal), Sara Arjun (Yalina Jamali), and Rakesh Bedi.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the trailer, which is expected to drop tomorrow.
