Ranveer Singh Poised to Enter Bollywood's Horror-Comedy Universe: Report

After showcasing his versatility as a romantic lead, a menacing villain, and the iconic Don, Ranveer Singh is reportedly considering venturing into the realm of horror-comedy.

Rumors suggest that the actor is in talks to join Bollywood's ever-growing horror-comedy universe. According to a report in Mid-Day, Ranveer Singh is in advanced discussions to star in Maddock Films' next installment in the horror-comedy franchise. This franchise already boasts successful films like Stree, Bhediya, and the recent release, Munjya.

The Maddock Films horror-comedy universe already includes a stellar cast featuring names like Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and even Akshay Kumar. If the rumors are true, Ranveer Singh may potentially lead the next film, which is expected to feature epic crossovers with previous characters in future movies.

A source close to the production revealed to Mid-Day that, “Ranveer has been in conversations with Dinesh for a while. He was at the Maddock office last week. The makers wanted a fresh energy to drive the next chapter, and Ranveer is keen to explore the genre. The paperwork is likely to be completed soon.”

Considering Ranveer Singh's current schedule, the report mentions that the production team is working to accommodate his commitments. He is currently finishing up Aditya Dhar’s action film Dhurandhar and has already scheduled dates for Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3.

If everything aligns as planned, the horror-comedy project is slated to begin filming in early 2026.

Currently, the actor is immersed in filming Dhurandhar, which has a stellar cast including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Akshaye Khanna.

As of now, neither Ranveer Singh nor Maddock Films have officially confirmed their involvement in the upcoming horror film.
