After the massive success of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh is reportedly preparing for one of the biggest projects of his career. The actor has apparently acquired the rights to Amish Tripathi’s bestselling novel The Immortals of Meluha and is now developing it as a large-scale mythological film trilogy under his production banner.
Ranveer Singh Planning Grand Mythological Franchise
According to reports, Ranveer Singh’s production house Maa Kasam Film has secured the adaptation rights to The Immortals of Meluha, the first book from Amish Tripathi’s hugely popular Shiva Trilogy.
The ambitious project is currently in the writing and development stage, with the makers planning to transform the fantasy saga into a cinematic universe spread across three films.
The actor is reportedly collaborating with Ananya Birla and Birla Studios for the large-scale adaptation.
Sources claim the team has already started screenplay development and world-building for the franchise, which is expected to become one of the biggest mythological film projects in Indian cinema.
Ranveer Singh To Play Lord Shiva
One of the biggest highlights of the project is that Ranveer Singh himself is expected to headline the trilogy as Lord Shiva.
Reports suggest the actor has been passionate about adapting the novel for the big screen for a long time and was personally involved in acquiring the rights.
While Ranveer’s casting has reportedly been finalized internally, the remaining cast members are yet to be locked.
The makers are currently focusing on script development before officially announcing the director and supporting ensemble.

Makers Taking Time With Screenplay And World-Building
According to industry sources, the team is approaching the adaptation with a long-term vision instead of rushing into production.
The screenplay process is reportedly being handled carefully due to the complex mythology, fantasy elements, and large-scale cinematic treatment required for the franchise.
The makers are said to be prioritizing visual world-building, character arcs, and storytelling before moving into active production.
Reports suggest the first installment of the trilogy is expected to go on floors in 2028.
The director for the project has not been finalized yet, as the production team reportedly plans to take that decision only after the script reaches an advanced stage.
Rights Acquired For Hefty Amount
Industry insiders claim Ranveer Singh acquired the adaptation rights for a substantial amount, although the exact deal value has not been revealed publicly.
Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy remains one of the most successful modern mythological book franchises in India, with millions of copies sold across languages.
Because of its massive fan following and cinematic storytelling style, the books have long been considered ideal material for a large-screen adaptation.
The announcement has already generated excitement among fans eager to see how the fantasy universe will be recreated visually.
Just a thought. I always wanted Amish Tripathi’s Shiva Trilogy to be adapted on big screen. And who better to do that than Aditya Dhar @authoramish @AdityaDharFilms #DhurandharTheRevenge#AdityaDhar pic.twitter.com/pomKjtdHh5
