The upcoming action thriller starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has generated considerable buzz, and it has been revealed that the film is not titled "Arjun Ustara" or "Evil". While the official title is still under wraps, production is underway, and anticipation is building for this collaboration between Kapoor and Bhardwaj, known for their critically acclaimed films "Kaminey" and "Haider".
The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, commenced shooting on January 6, 2025, in Mumbai and is slated for a theatrical release on December 5, 2025. Nadiadwala has shared a sneak peek from the "Mahurat" shoot, further fueling excitement among fans. Alongside Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, the film will also feature Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda in key roles.
Vishal Bhardwaj has expressed his enthusiasm for the project, calling Shahid Kapoor his "trusted talisman". He also welcomed Triptii Dimri, referring to her as "India's National Crush," to the team. The film is touted as a large-scale action entertainer with a blend of thrills, drama, and star power.
Shahid Kapoor also shared his excitement for the film on social media, stating that "Every story has its time, and this one begins now". This action thriller is part of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment's packed 2025 lineup, which includes "Sikandar", "Housefull 5", and "Baaghi 4".
While specific details about the plot are still unknown, the film is expected to be an action-packed thriller, with some reports suggesting that Disha Patani will make a cameo appearance. The movie marks another significant collaboration for Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj, who have previously delivered memorable performances in "Kaminey" and "Haider". "Haider" (2014), an adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet," earned Kapoor the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Their collaboration has set high expectations for this new venture.
