Ranveer Singh starrer Pralay is not an adaptation, | Indian Movie News
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has opened up about his upcoming project Pralay, starring Ranveer Singh. The movie, which has been producing appreciable curiosity, is set to explore a large-scale post-apocalyptic world—an thought that, according to Mehta, has been in development for fairly some time.
Speaking about the origins of the project to The Hollywood Reporter, Mehta revealed that the idea was initially developed by filmmaker Jai Mehta, who had been working on it independently before Ranveer Singh got here on board. “Jai had been working on this idea for a long time.” He additional explained how the collaboration took form once Ranveer expressed curiosity in the idea, “When Ranveer saw his work, he reached out to him and then Jai pitched it to him. Once Ranveer said he liked the idea, we invested in developing it-helping Jai create the world he wants to present in the film.”
Detailing the dimensions and ambition of Pralay, Mehta described it as a genre-defining project for Indian cinema. “Its a post-apocalyptic world that hasnt been attempted before at this scale in India. Development is not just about writing. It also includes ideas-how you shape them, how you visualise them, and how you eventually sell them to a third party, to a star or a studio. We’ve invested in building those ideas,” he additional told the portal.
Addressing hypothesis about the movie being impressed by present literary works, Mehta firmly dismissed such claims, clarifying that the story is totally unique. “It’s not an adaptation”, he added and continued, “Jay and Vishal Kapoor have written the unique story. Further, I believe a e book like Blindness is not simply tailored to movie. I had seen the 2008 movie adaptation (starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo) and it wasn’t great. Writers like Saramago or Salman Rushdie… I really feel they’re best skilled on paper. Their books lose all their magic when interpreted for cinema.”
He also emphasised that the success of the film will largely depend on how convincingly its world is brought to life on screen. He shared, “The victory of Jai’s movie will rely on its immersive nature”. “How do you make a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world believable? To that end, we are working with some of the best talent from around the world. And we are trying to achieve it at a fraction of the cost in which Hollywood would have done it.”
With its bold premise and focus on immersive storytelling, Pralay is shaping up to be a important addition to the evolving panorama of high-concept cinema in India.
