Earlier in 2024, the reports had surfaced that Ajay Devgn is teaming up with Jagan Shakti for the first time for a jungle adventure. Soon after, it was reported that the film will be produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, and it titled Ranger. As Ajay is on the verge of completing De De Pyaar De 2, Pinkvilla has reported that the makers have roped in Sanjay Dutt to play the antagonist in Ranger.
Citing sources close to the development, the media portal has reported that Sanjay and Ajay will be seen in an avatar like never before and will be larger-than-life faceoff in Ranger. “It’s a casting that has come out naturally from the script, as the villain of Ranger has an aura that Sanjay Dutt carries in real life. As the film is set against the backdrop of forests, the makers are designing special looks for both Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, wherein the former plays the part of a forest ranger,” added the source.
It has also been further reported by Pinkvilla that the film is eyeing to begin production by summer 2025. Currently, the pre-production work is presently under way.
Ajay is expected to start shooting for the film once he wraps De De Pyaar De 2.
