Storm update: Hrithik Roshan's production hits the floors; eyes February 2026 wrap for Parvathy Thiruvothu-led series

Despite his silence about his upcoming acting roles, Hrithik Roshan is rapidly advancing in his digital production career. As a major step forward for his company, HRX Films, the actor's high-stakes thriller series Storm has officially begun production in Mumbai, marking his first major project as a producer.

When did filming for Storm begin?

Officially announced in October 2025, the series secretly began filming in Mumbai towards the end of last year. As per a report in Mid Day, industry insiders have reported that the production team has been diligently following a tight timeline to wrap up before the middle of the quarter.

"The shooting for Storm is in full swing. Ajitpal Singh serves as the show’s director, writer, and creator. It’s largely a start-to-end schedule. Ajit is looking at wrapping it by February," a source told the tabloid. To get the "raw and layered" feel of Mumbai that the story calls for, filming is taking place all around the city for the series.

How did the partnership between Prime Video and HRX Films evolve?

The long-term partnership between Prime Video and HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions owned by Roshan, will launch with Storm as its first series. The production company is already in pre-production after spending more than three years crafting the script under the guidance of CEO Eshaan Roshan.

It was Roshan's intention to choose Ajitpal Singh as showrunner; he supposedly wanted a director who could strike a balance between toughness and emotional depth. Along with Francois Lunel and Swati Das, Singh has gained fame for his work on the highly regarded series Tabbar (2021).

What is the creative dynamic between Hrithik Roshan and the director Ajitpal Singh?

"Hrithik and Ajitpal have spent considerable time exchanging ideas through the scripting and pre-production stage. Hrithik is kicked about the show’s script. He loved Ajit’s directorial venture Tabbar (2021). So, he knows the filmmaker will bring his unique flavour to the genre, where style, substance, and sensitivity will unite," says another source.

The series features a diverse ensemble cast, with strong female characters making the most of their roles. The cast also features Parvathy Thiruvothu, Alaya F, Saba Azad, Srishti Shrivastava, Rrama Sharma, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Rajit Kapur.

What themes does Storm explore?

Using Mumbai as a backdrop, the project investigates urban issues of secrecy, ambition, and survival. Earlier, when asked about his decision to support the film, Hrithik Roshan highlighted the narrative's strength:

"Storm presented me with the perfect opportunity to make my debut as a producer in the streaming space, and Prime Video, with its proven record of bringing exceptional stories to life, was an instinctive choice. What drew me to Storm was the compelling world that Ajitpal has created. The story is raw, layered, and powerful, with unforgettable characters who will be essayed by incredibly talented actors."

What are the future release plans for Storm?

Production is set to conclude in February 2026, and post-production will start right away to get the series ready for its worldwide debut on Prime Video. In Roshan's view, this is just the beginning of a larger plan to broaden HRX Films' content offerings to include more high-concept narrative suitable for a worldwide streaming audience.
