Bollywood action star Sunny Deol is gearing up for his next cinematic venture, but fans will have to wait a bit longer than expected. The highly anticipated action film, which marks Sunny Deol's first-ever collaboration with producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, has experienced a significant schedule shift.
Revised Shooting Timeline
Originally slated to commence production in December 2025, the big-budget action thriller will now begin filming in the first week of February 2026. According to reports from Mid Day, the decision to delay the shoot by approximately two months was made mutually by all parties involved.
Reason Behind the Delay
The primary factor influencing this schedule change is Sunny Deol's current commitment to promoting his latest release, 'Border 2'. The actor has been extensively occupied throughout January 2025 with promotional activities for the war drama, which is currently receiving positive audience response and critical appreciation in theaters.
Rather than rushing into the new project with divided attention, the production team decided it would be more prudent to wait until everyone could dedicate their full focus to the film. This strategic move demonstrates the makers' commitment to quality over haste.
Production Details and Schedule
Director Balaji has already initiated preparations for the film, which is described as a high-octane action thriller. Sunny Deol is scheduled to report to the set on February 10, 2026, with the first shooting schedule planned to take place in Andheri, Mumbai.
The production team has established a tightly planned schedule with clear dates and locations. Sunny Deol has reportedly allocated substantial dates for this project, and the makers aim to complete the entire shoot smoothly, targeting a wrap by summer 2026.
Sunny Deol's Other Projects
Beyond this action thriller, Sunny Deol has another significant film in the pipeline. He will appear in the Hindi remake of the acclaimed Malayalam crime thriller 'Joseph', titled 'Soorya'. This project, directed by M. Padmakumar (who also helmed the original version), completed shooting in September 2025.
Following the wrap of 'Soorya', director Padmakumar shared an Instagram post featuring a candid moment with Sunny Deol, captioning it "Director-actor banter between shots @iamsunnydeol." The film has already generated considerable curiosity among fans of the original, which starred Joju George in the lead role.
Current Box Office Performance
Meanwhile, 'Border 2' continues its theatrical run, garnering favorable reviews and strong audience reception. Sunny Deol's performance and the film's emotional depth have become particular talking points among critics and viewers alike.
This period represents an interesting phase in Sunny Deol's career as he balances promotional duties for his current release while preparing for multiple upcoming projects that showcase his versatility across different genres.
