From what we’ve heard, pre-production on Ranger began a few months ago, and director Jagan Shakti has completed the recce. A source tells us, “Ajay has allotted December and the first few months of 2025 to the project. He is excited about the big-budget film as it is being planned as a franchise, along the lines of Indiana Jones. The actor will play a state forest officer, who is determined to protect the forest and preserve wildlife. The story is steeped in folklore and mythology, and sees his character in search of a significant relic. During the recce, the team finalised four locations, and are likely to begin the shoot in a forest in north India.”

The source reveals that Devgn will sport a distinct avatar in the jungle drama. “Ajay’s look has yet to be finalised. The costume team is working towards giving him a weather-beaten look. The superstar hopes to wrap up the project by early 2025, after which he is slated to face the camera for a south movie,” adds the
