The Story in Brief
Director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande has confirmed that the V. Shantaram biopic starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tamannaah Bhatia has not been shelved, but the shooting has been pushed to next year. The makers now plan to begin filming in April 2027. The film was earlier slated to go on floors in April 2026 but faced scheduling delays.
Deshpande told Bollywood Hungama that the April shoot was delayed by two months, which threw the schedule off. He added that the new plan will see outdoor sequences filmed first, followed by interior shots during the monsoon. The biopic traces the filmmaker's journey from the silent era to colour cinema. Production is by Rahul Kiran Shantaram, Subhash Kale and Sarita Ashwin Varde.
The Indian Opinion
Rumours of shelving spread because no shoot happened for four months. That is normal in Indian film production, where dates shift for many reasons. The director has given a specific new month, April 2027, and named the sequence of shoots. Watch whether the makers actually start outdoors by then. If they do, the project is alive. If not, the sceptics may have been right all along. One concrete date will settle it.
