Unofficial photographs and videos from the Mumbai set of Ranveer Singh’s forthcoming film Pralay have revealed the actor in a rugged, long-haired look while filming alongside Kalyani Priyadarshan. The footage circulated widely on social media on Monday, weeks after the production formally began.
Ranveer Singh’s Pralay look surfaces online
The behind-the-scenes visuals show Singh with long hair, a light beard and weathered clothing on a dusty outdoor set featuring old vehicles and muddy roads. The production design appears to depict a city devastated by a large-scale disaster.
In one sequence, Singh is seen carrying a child on his back while walking with a group of people. Another clip reportedly shows the child stepping down after the shot was completed, indicating that the moment formed part of a filmed scene.
Priyadarshan is also visible in the circulating footage. Neither Singh nor the producers had released the material as an official first look at the time of publication, and the context of the scenes has not been disclosed.
Fans compare new appearance with Jaskirat Singh Rangi
Some social-media users compared Singh’s appearance in Pralay with Jaskirat Singh Rangi, his character from the Dhurandhar films. The resemblance prompted comments suggesting that “Jaskirat is back”, although the two productions are unrelated and Singh’s character name in Pralay has not been officially announced.
Other users described him as a possible “zombie hunter”, reflecting reports that the film includes a zombie threat. The production’s official description, however, identifies Pralay more broadly as an apocalyptic survival story combining large-scale spectacle with an emotional narrative.
Pralay marks Ranveer Singh’s production debut
Filming began in Mumbai in August. Pralay marks Singh’s debut as a film producer, alongside his lead acting role.
The project is directed by Jai Mehta, who previously helmed the streaming series Lootere and co-directed Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story. Singh is producing the film with Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios, True Story Films and Maa Kasam Films.
The producers have described the film as an original story rooted in Mumbai’s landscape. Its central narrative will examine survival, courage and the instinct to protect what matters when the familiar world begins to collapse.
Kalyani Priyadarshan joins the Hindi-language project
Priyadarshan, known primarily for her work in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu cinema, plays a leading role opposite Singh. Pralay is being positioned as her major Hindi-language film debut.
The makers have not yet confirmed Singh’s character name, the complete cast or a theatrical release date. Further production schedules and an official first-look campaign are also awaited.
