According to media reports, Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn is reuniting with director Abhishek Pathak for a highly anticipated family thriller that has officially locked its release date for October 2, 2026, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti.
The yet-to-be-titled film will be jointly produced by Panorama Studios and Viacom18 Studios, marking another major collaboration between two of the industry's leading production houses.
While plot details are currently under wraps, the project is already creating a buzz due to the successful track record of the Devgn-Pathak partnership. The duo last worked together on the critically and commercially acclaimed Drishyam 2 (2022), which not only broke box office records but also reaffirmed their synergy in the thriller genre.
Choosing Gandhi Jayanti — a national holiday — as the release date signals high confidence in the film’s mass appeal and box office potential. The long weekend window is often a coveted slot for major releases, and the announcement has only heightened expectations among fans and industry watchers alike.
Panorama Studios, known for its expertise in thrillers and drama-driven content, and Viacom18 Studios, a leader in mainstream cinematic entertainment, are expected to bring both scale and substance to the production.
Though no further casting details have been confirmed, sources indicate that the film will feature a strong ensemble and a narrative grounded in familial conflict, suspense, and high-stakes emotional drama — a combination that both Devgn and Pathak are well-versed in delivering.
As per reports, the film is currently in pre-production with shooting scheduled to begin early next year. Given the prior success of the actor-director duo, expectations are sky-high.
More official details are expected to follow in the coming months, but for now, fans can mark their calendars: Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Pathak return to the big screen on October 2, 2026, with what promises to be another gripping entry in the family thriller genre.
