Significance of the title Pralay
The selected title is highly relevant to the film's subject matter, according to sources close to the production who informed Pinkvilla. The source told the entertainment portal, "Ranveer Singh's next is tentatively titled Pralay. The title is in sync with the world of the film, which is hit by an unexpected disaster – both natural and man-made. While the world of Pralay is unlike anything seen before, the film is more of a human story based on how far a man can go to save his family in the most difficult circumstances."
People are comparing the highly anticipated film to popular post-apocalyptic films, drawing parallels with blockbuster Hollywood films. The source also said, "The tone of the film is on the lines of World War Z and I Am A Legend, where the leading man has to fight multiple evils for the sake of his family."
Extensive pre-production
A large amount of time must be spent in pre-production to create the unique universe needed for the story, due to the demanding nature of the film. The report asserts that the film necessitates extensive pre-production, with the makers striving to establish an entirely new world.
The script has reportedly caught Singh's attention, and he has been actively involved in its development. The insider goes on to say that the actor "is extremely kicked by the script and is discussing several aspects on a day-to-day basis with Jai Mehta and the team of writers."
Filming to commence post Don 3
Once Singh completes his commitment to Farhan Akhtar's upcoming action flick, Don 3, the filming schedule will proceed. The source added that the actor is expected to start shooting for the film from the second half of 2026 once he wraps up shooting for Don 3.
The makers are reportedly seeking prominent female actors to play the lead opposite Singh. The actor is currently busy curating an impressive slate for the second half of the decade, which includes the upcoming releases of Dhurandhar and Don 3.
