V. Shantaram Biopic Moves to 2027

The new movie about V. Shantaram that has Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tamannaah Bhatia in leading roles has had a problem, with the schedule but the film is still being made.

The shooting director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande finally gave us some news about the movie after a time. Now the shooting director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande says that they will start filming the movie, which’s a biographical drama, in 2027.

V. Shantaram Biopic Shoot Delayed

The V. Shantaram biopic was originally expected to begin filming in April 2026. However, director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande explained that the production was delayed by around two months. That initial setback affected the larger schedule and made it difficult for the team to continue with the original filming plan.

The people who made the movie have therefore chosen to move the production to year. They do not want to finish the movie with a schedule that is not working well.

Shooting Now Planned for April 2027

The revised plan is to begin shooting in April 2027. Deshpande said the team wants to finish the scenes first and then start filming inside during the rainy season. So people who are waiting to see this movie should not think that it is definitely coming out in 2027. Now 2027 is when they are going to start making the movie and the people in charge have not said when it will actually be in theaters. They have not given us a date, for when we can go see it yet.

Is the V. Shantaram Film Shelved?

No. The director said that the V. Shantaram biopic is still happening. It has not been cancelled. The reason it is taking long is because of problems with scheduling. They just need to figure out the time to do it. The V. Shantaram biopic is still, in the works. That makes a difference because people were wondering what was going on with the project since they were not seeing any new filming updates.
