Ranveer Singh, who was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, co-starring Alia Bhatt, will be busy filming for his upcoming movies in the next two years. As per a report by Pinkvilla, apart from Don 3 and Singham Again, the actor is gearing up for another big film, Shaktimaan. It will reportedly be directed by Basil Joseph.
Per the portal, Don 3 will be shot in India and abroad over a period of seven months and is expected to wrap up by March 2025, after which Ranveer Singh will get busy with Shaktimaan in May 2025. “Right after Don 3, it’s time for Shaktimaan.
