Ajay Devgn denies reuniting with Om Raut for new film
What's the story
Actor Ajay Devgn has denied reports of reuniting with director Om Raut for a new film based on an "unsung warrior." The duo had previously worked together on the 2020 blockbuster Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which revolved around the life of Tanaji Malusare, a legendary Maratha commander. A recent report by Pinkvilla suggested that they were coming together again for another warrior's story.
Official statement
'Story is baseless and entirely untrue'
Devgn's spokesperson said, "We have come across recent media reports suggesting that Ajay Devgn and Om Raut are reuniting for a film based on an unsung warrior." "We would like to clarify that there are currently no such discussions or collaborations taking place with the director. The story is baseless and entirely untrue." The statement also emphasized that both Devgn and Raut are currently occupied with their individual projects.
Film success
'Tanhaji' was a blockbuster success
Produced by Devgn and T-Series, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior was a massive success. It became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2020 before the pandemic-induced lockdowns. Apart from Devgn, it also starred Kajol, Sharad Kelkar, Saif Ali Khan, and Neha Sharma, among others. It's streaming on JioHotstar.
Upcoming ventures
Meanwhile, Devgn is working on 'Bal Tanhaji'
Devgn had previously expressed his desire to explore more stories in the "warrior" universe. Earlier this year, he announced Bal Tanhaji, an AI-driven origin story of Malusare's early life, through his new AI company. On the acting front, Devgn was recently seen in comedy sequels Son of Sardaar 2 and De De Pyaar De 2. His next release is Drishyam 3 (Hindi) on October 2, 2026.
