Ajay Devgn to Star in Kashmir-Based Action Film 'Chauhaan' Releasing in 2027PreviousNext

Ajay Devgn will star in the action film "Chauhaan," set for theatrical release on October 1, 2027. Directed by Neeraj Yadav and produced by Aanand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, and Jyoti Deshpande, the film is a tribute to Devgn's late father, stunt choreographer Veeru Devgan. Set in Kashmir's Pulwama, Devgn plays an army officer in a gritty, action-packed narrative. The announcement teaser features the dialogue "Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai," which sparked online debate about a possible reference to Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" franchise. The film is presented by Jio Studios and Colour Yellow Productions.
