Ajay Devgn’s Untitled Horror Thriller Goes on Floors With Panorama Studios

Ajay Devgn has commenced work on a new, currently untitled horror thriller, strengthening his creative partnership with Shaitaan producers Panorama Studios. The project officially went on floors on September 2, 2026, with Rohit Jugraj attached as director.

Devgn announced the production launch through his verified social-media account, writing: “Darr ka mahaul…hone wala hai. Our untitled horror thriller officially goes on floors today.”

The announcement identifies the film as a Devgn Films and Panorama Studios production. Ajay Devgn, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak are producing the project.

While the filming update is official, the makers have not yet disclosed its title, complete cast, storyline, or release date. Claims circulating about a possible title or Devgn’s character have also not been confirmed by either production house.

Ajay Devgn and Panorama Studios Extend Their Partnership

The new film reunites two banners that have developed a productive association across different varieties of thrillers.

Devgn Films and Panorama Studios previously collaborated on Shaitaan, the 2024 supernatural thriller starring Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, Jyotika, and Janki Bodiwala. The Vikas Bahl-directed film placed an ordinary family at the center of a disturbing confrontation involving manipulation and black magic.

Their partnership has not been restricted to horror. Panorama Studios also backed Raid 2, in which Devgn returned as Indian Revenue Service officer Amay Patnaik. The new production therefore continues an established professional relationship while bringing the two companies back to the horror-thriller space.

However, the latest film has not been announced as a Shaitaan sequel or as part of that story’s universe. Until the makers provide further information, it should be treated as a separate, original project.

Rohit Jugraj Moves Into a Larger Horror Production

The choice of Rohit Jugraj as director gives the project a distinct creative identity.

Jugraj has previously directed Punjabi films including entries in the Sardaar Ji series. His recent work also includes SonyLIV’s musical thriller Chamak, which follows a musician investigating the deaths of his parents while navigating the Punjab music business. SonyLIV officially credits Jugraj as the series’ director.

That experience with suspense, hidden histories, and atmosphere makes his involvement relevant, although the new film represents a different cinematic setting and scale. The production announcement describes the upcoming project as a story built around mystery, fear, and suspense.

In a statement reported alongside the announcement, Jugraj expressed his excitement about directing a film led by Devgn and backed by Devgn Films and Panorama Studios. The filmmakers have not yet revealed whether the horror will be supernatural, psychological, or grounded in another form of threat.

What Has and Has Not Been Confirmed

At this stage, the confirmed information is deliberately limited:

• Ajay Devgn headlines the film.

• Rohit Jugraj is directing it.

• Production began on September 2, 2026.

• Devgn Films and Panorama Studios are backing the project.

• Ajay Devgn, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak are named as producers.

• The film remains officially untitled.

No supporting actors, character descriptions, filming locations, or theatrical release date were included in the official announcement. Any such details should be regarded as unverified unless subsequently disclosed by the makers.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The meaningful development is not simply that Ajay Devgn is making another horror film. It is that Devgn Films and Panorama Studios are investing in a new horror property without publicly positioning it as a continuation of Shaitaan.

That distinction matters in a film industry increasingly drawn to sequels and interconnected universes. If the project remains standalone, it could allow the makers to build a fresh mythology while using the commercial confidence created by their previous collaborations.

Rohit Jugraj’s appointment is equally notable. Rather than returning to the director of Shaitaan, the producers have selected a filmmaker whose recent work has leaned on mood, music, mystery, and long-form suspense. The first title reveal, cast announcement, and plot description should offer a clearer indication of whether this is conventional supernatural horror or a more psychological thriller.

Sources & Verification

The production launch, director, production banners, and untitled status were verified through Ajay Devgn’s official social-media announcement. Producer credits and the description of the project were cross-checked against contemporaneous coverage from multiple entertainment and news organizations. Rohit Jugraj’s association with Chamak was verified through SonyLIV. No unconfirmed title, supporting cast, character, or release-date claim has been presented as fact.
