As 2024 comes to an end, the buzz around Bollywood’s upcoming movies is heating up. From highly anticipated sequels to grand new ventures, here’s a rundown of some of the most exciting projects slated for 2025 and beyond.
1. Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan’s “King”
One of the most talked-about films in the pipeline is King, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously helmed Pathaan, this movie is expected to be a high-octane action thriller. The preparation for King has been ongoing for six months, with exotic locations worldwide scouted for action-packed sequences. Shooting is set to begin in March 2025. Additionally, buzz suggests that Abhay Verma, known for his work in Munja, will also be a part of the cast.
2. Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in S.S. Rajamouli’s Jungle Adventure
S.S. Rajamouli’s next project promises to be a unique jungle-based adventure, with Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. Marking Priyanka’s return to Indian cinema after six years, this movie will showcase her in an action-heavy role. The shooting is scheduled to start in April 2025 and is expected to continue until late 2026. With Prithviraj Sukumaran reportedly playing the antagonist, this film is already generating massive anticipation.
3. Hrithik Roshan’s “Krrish 4”
The superhero franchise fanbase has been anticipating the release of Krrish 4 for an extended period of time. In the summer of 2025, the movie will start filming Karan Malhotra who worked with Hrithik in Agneepath (2012). It is most likely that Hrithik will get on board after finishing War 2. With Rakesh Roshan involved in scripting, it is promising for this adored franchise.
4. Kartik Aaryan’s Romantic Comedy “Tu Meri Main Tera”
Kartik Aaryan has recently signed a film with Dharma Productions titled ‘Tu Meri Main Tera’. His portrayal will be of an ideal mama’s boy in this rom-com and with that an entertaining story is offered. The movie should come out in 2026. The offbeat title is enough to ignite fans’ curiosities.
5. Suriya’s Retro Comeback with “Retro”
Suriya’s character seems to indicate a certain renaissance of sorts, which seems to be one of the selling points for Retro. From the films’ trailers and bits that have been released and leaked, Suriya’s character appears to be of an ex-gangster looking for peace in the vintage backdrop. A summer of this year Retro will hit the screens and does showcase Suriya’s acting caliber, which will be worth the wait given the average reception towards Kanguva.
6. Jacqueline Fernandez and Sonu Sood in “Fateh”
Jacqueline Fernandez has been Sonu Sood’s co-star in the film Fateh which is already generating profound attention due to its action filled trailer. The film which is directed by Sonu Sood as well, is ready to hit theaters on January 10, 2025. The plot may be straightforward but there is so much brutality and how it’s presented that makes it all the more exciting. If the success achieved by related action flicks such as Marco are anything to go by, then Fateh would be a blockbuster.
7. Other Projects to Watch
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Trupti Dimri, who has been making waves with her performances, has joined a Suraj Barjatya banner project alongside Ayushmann Khurrana. This film aims to merge traditional family values with a modern twist.
- Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan’s Collaboration: Though fans hoped for a movie, the duo will share screen space in an action-packed commercial ad instead.
