In 2018, Ajay Devgn had created a flutter when he announced his ambitious period drama, Chanakya. His first collaboration with director Neeraj Pandey was expected to roll in 2020, but the pandemic thwarted their best-laid plans. Now that the film industry has bounced back in action, the actor-director duo is ready to roll up their sleeves and give shape to their passion project.
“We will begin shooting for Chanakya towards the year-end. I hope we can start hard prep soon. We did a VFX test [on the possible looks as Chanakya] in December, and the results were fantastic,” says Pandey. Given his knack for thrillers that include A Wednesday and Baby (2015), the director is exploring unfamiliar territory with the period piece about the 4th century BCE philosopher and economist. “It’s an out-and-out historical drama. I have never tackled the genre before and want to take up the challenge.”
