Sunny Deol is on a cinematic rampage, lining up one power-packed film after another. Following the success of Jaat and amid shooting schedules for Border 2, the veteran actor is now set to collaborate with Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment for the first time. This new project is an untitled big-budget action thriller, expected to go on floors in December—and fans can expect Deol to return in his signature fierce, lion-like avatar.
Already committed to several high-profile films including Jaat 2, Lahore 1947, Ramayana (where he’ll portray Lord Hanuman), and Border 2, Sunny Deol’s calendar is brimming with high-octane cinema. His addition to this new action thriller expands that impressive slate, promising audiences another intense and dramatic ride. Though the film's title is still under wraps, it is being touted as a larger-than-life venture crafted to resonate with fans of old-school Deol action.
The project marks a new milestone in Deol's career as he teams up with producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, whose banner Excel Entertainment is known for delivering stylish, edgy, and commercially successful content. The film will be directed by Balaji, who has previously worked behind the scenes on major Tamil hits as an assistant and associate director—making this his directorial debut.
Currently, the team is finalizing key elements of the film’s script and design, aiming to create a gripping narrative filled with drama and adrenaline. The casting for supporting roles is underway, and the official announcement—including title and poster—is expected in the coming months.
As Sunny wraps up his current commitments and the production house concludes projects like Bahadur 120 and Don with Ranveer Singh, all eyes are on December when this action spectacle begins shooting. With Deol in full form and Excel Entertainment behind the wheel, fans can expect a thunderous return of one of Bollywood's most iconic action heroes.
