In 2023, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Ranveer Singh and director S. Shankar are collaborating on a pan-India cinematic project, which will be a screen adaptation of the iconic novel Velpari. We also heard that this yet-untitled project is set to roll in early 2024. But no further updates have been released from either party yet.

Now, in an exclusive Pinkvilla Masterclass, director Shankar revealed how soon fans will see the collaboration between him and Ranveer Singh.

The recent Pinkvilla Masterclass was graved by one of the ace filmmakers, S. Shankar. His two films, Game Changer and Indian 2, will be released in 2024. During the discussion, he was asked about the update on the collaboration with Ranveer Singh. 

He shared, "Actually, we planned to do Aparichit in Hindi, but after that announcement, there are lot of movies coming and no bigger and bigger movies, and our producer wants me to do something bigger than Aparichit, so right now, it's on hold. After the release of these two films, we will decide how to take it forward."
