Netflix Delays Siddhant Chaturvedi & Ajay Devgn’s Creature Film Amid Budget Issues

Netflix Abandons Creature Feature “Ramree”

In a significant move, Netflix India has reportedly shelved its ambitious creature film, “Ramree,” featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi. Despite over a year in development, the project faced financial hurdles that ultimately led to its cancellation. This film, produced by Ajay Devgn, was envisioned to elevate the horror genre in India with its large-scale storytelling.

Behind the Decision

According to sources, the film’s development included significant expenses due to its subject matter and historical backdrop. Although there was initial enthusiasm from the platform’s executives, concerns about financial viability led to the decision to halt production. The film was intended to set new benchmarks within the OTT landscape for visual effects and storytelling.

About “Ramree”

Set in 1945, “Ramree” was poised to star Mohit Raina alongside Chaturvedi. It also marked the directorial debut of Neha Sharma, who has previously contributed to projects like “The Zoya Factor” and “Tere Bin Laden.” Sources indicated that while the film showed promise, it represents a common scenario in the creative industry where many ideas never come to fruition.

In recent memory, Siddhant Chaturvedi made an appearance in “Dhadak 2” alongside Triptii Dimri. Although the film received favorable reviews, it faced challenges at the box office before finding success on Netflix, where it trended in various countries.

Chaturvedi initially garnered attention with his performance in “Gully Boy,” a film starring Ranveer Singh. He later starred in projects like “Gehraiyaan” and “Bunty Aur Babli 2,” and he was also featured alongside Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gaurav in “Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan.”
