Teasing about his new character as compared to his role in Deva, Shahid continued, “But you can't be original if you aren't ready to be lost...

Earlier in September, Vishal Bhardwaj officially announced the film in an Instagram post. He expressed his excitement about his reunion with Shahid Kapoor and producer Sajid Nadiadwala. The director also revealed that Triptii Dimri will be playing the female lead in the movie.
In an exclusive report, Pinkvilla revealed that Arjun Ustara will go on floors on January 6, 2025. A source close to the development stated, “A massive set is being constructed at a studio in Mumbai, bringing the film’s vision to life. A team of over 500 people is working to create this elaborate setup, as the idea is to mount it on a massive scale. The makers are aiming to recreate Mumbai from the era gone by, as the premise of the film is set against the backdrop of the underworld in the post-Independence era.”
Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor’s movie Deva is slated to release in theaters on January 31, 2025. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews, the film also stars Pooja Hegde.
