Arjun's unique roles and budget plans
In this ambitious project, Arjun will play three different characters, including a fully animated one—a first for any Indian actor in a full-length movie. The other two characters include a hero and a villain, both getting unique treatment to give the audience three different versions of the actor on the screen. The film is being made on a lavish budget to ensure international quality in visuals and storytelling.

Release might be delayed
The film is slated for a release by 2026-end, but possible delays could push it to Sankranti or summer 2027. Speaking at the WAVES 2025, Arjun stressed that while the presentation would be international, it would remain deeply Indian.
