Luv Ranjan Sets 2026 Bollywood Lineup with Major Sequels and Star-Studded Action Film
Renowned filmmaker Luv Ranjan and his production banner are gearing up for a blockbuster 2026, unveiling an exciting slate of projects that promise to captivate audiences. The year will commence with the much-anticipated sequel to the 2022 sleeper hit Vadh, aptly titled Vadh 2. This follow-up will reunite the talented duo of Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta, reprising their roles in what is expected to be another compelling narrative.
Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt's First Full-Fledged Action Collaboration
Simultaneously, Ranjan is mounting a large-scale action-adventure film that has already generated significant buzz within the industry. Headlined by powerhouse actors Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, alongside the versatile Tamannaah Bhatia, this project marks a historic moment in Bollywood. Despite sharing screen space in numerous films over the past 25 years, Devgn and Dutt have never teamed up for a full-fledged action film until now.
Luv Ranjan expressed his excitement about this unique pairing, stating, "Ajay sir and Sanju sir have worked together so many times in these 25 years. Yet, they have never done an action film together. It is very shocking." He added that witnessing these two icons finally clash in an action-heavy narrative is "extremely exciting."
Clarifying the Title and Release Date
Addressing widespread speculation that the action spectacle is titled Ranger, Ranjan clarified that the name is still a work in progress. "Ranger is a tentative title. As usual, we are trying to figure out the correct title," he said with a laugh, noting there is ample time before release to finalize it. According to reports, the producer confirmed that the film is slated to hit cinemas on December 4, 2026, putting an end to rumors and sealing the release window for this highly anticipated outing.
A Look at Devgn and Dutt's Shared Film History
The cinematic journey between Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt spans various genres, including:
- Hum Kisise Kum Nahin
- All The Best
- Rascals
- Son Of Sardaar
- The romantic drama Mehbooba
They have also made brief appearances together in films like Ready, with Sanjay Dutt featuring in a special role in the Ajay Devgn-led Raju Chacha. Interestingly, while both stars were part of war and action projects such as LOC Kargil, Tango Charlie, and Bhuj: The Pride Of India, they never shared scenes in those films, making this upcoming collaboration their first true action partnership.
More Big Projects in the Pipeline
Beyond this action-adventure, Luv Ranjan is also backing the sequel to the popular film Cocktail 2, which stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. While keeping specific details under wraps, Ranjan shared, "I am producing it with Dino. It is shaping up great. Homi Adajania is a superb director," hinting at another high-profile release on the horizon.
With this diverse lineup, Luv Ranjan is poised to make 2026 a landmark year in Bollywood, blending sequels, star power, and fresh narratives to entertain audiences nationwide.
