Ajay Devgn is in talks to collaborate with Kannada director JP Thuminad for an upcoming horror-comedy project. This potential collaboration marks a new genre for Devgn, who is known for his action and drama roles.
Talks are underway between Ajay Devgn and JP Thuminad, the director of the Kannada hit "Su From So". Sources indicate that Devgn was impressed with the concept presented by Thuminad and has requested a full script. The next meeting between the two is expected to take place in a month.
The film is slated to be produced by KVN Productions, marking their entry into the Hindi film industry. KVN Productions is also producing "Haiwaan" starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, and "Toxic" with Yash.
If the collaboration materializes, this will be Devgn's first horror-comedy film. While he has starred in comedies like the "Golmaal" series and horror films like "Bhoot" and "Shaitaan", this project would blend both genres.
JP Thuminad gained recognition for his directorial debut, "Su From So". The film, made on a small budget, became a blockbuster, earning critical acclaim and commercial success. Its humor, local flavor, and blend of horror and comedy were praised, and the film earned approximately ₹100 crore.
Ajay Devgn has a busy schedule. He is currently working on "Ranger" and is scheduled to begin shooting for "Drishyam 3" in October, followed by "Golmaal Five" in January. The horror-comedy with JP Thuminad is expected to begin filming in the first half of 2026.
An industry insider stated that Ajay Devgn is open to stories from various creators and liked JP Thuminad's idea. The project is the kind of film Devgn has wanted to do.
The collaboration between Ajay Devgn and JP Thuminad is generating excitement. Fans are awaiting further updates on this project.
