Abhishek Bachchan collaborates with Shanmukha Gowtham for action film

Abhishek Bachchan is set to headline a new action thriller, directed by Shanmukha Gowtham—who previously worked on hits like Animal and Kabir Singh.
Produced by Peoples Media Factory, the film will feature Bachchan as a butcher, with filming planned for late 2025.
Casting for other key roles is still in progress.

TL;DR

'Action movies' and 'butcher' aren't 2 words you'd expect together

This marks a big moment for both Bachchan and Shanmukha—Bachchan takes on an unconventional role while juggling another major project (King), and Shanmukha steps up as lead director after years behind the scenes.
The film promises a fresh spin on action movies, with an offbeat main character and a potential new storytelling style that could shake up the genre.
