Sunny Deol's 'Parshuram' postponed indefinitely due to director Nikhil Bhat
What's the story
Sunny Deol's much-anticipated action thriller Parshuram, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, has been postponed indefinitely. The decision comes after Bhat signed on for his Hollywood directorial debut with Deadlocked, an action thriller starring Jamie Foxx. A source told Bollywood Hungama that the delay is because Bhat will not be able to take on any new projects until Deadlocked is finished.
Project delay
Producers considering whether to wait or hire new director
With Bhat's Hollywood commitment, Parshuram has been pushed to 2027. The producers are now contemplating their next steps.
They are reportedly considering whether to wait for Bhat's return or hire a new director for the film.
Meanwhile, Mythri Movie Makers is also considering fast-tracking Jaat 2 as an alternative project. However, these discussions are still in the early stages, and no final decision has been made yet.
