'Not true': Amish Tripathi dismisses reports of Ranveer Singh acquiring 'The Immortals of Meluha' rights

Amish Tripathi has quashed the reports of Ranveer Singh acquiring the rights of his Shiva trilogy series.

Reports of Ranveer Singh acquiring the rights of Amish Tripathi's bestselling Shiva trilogy, The Immortals of Meluha, under his banner Maa Kasam Films went viral.

It was also rumoured that Ranveer is set to headline the project and will play Lord Shiva in the trilogy.

Reports also suggested that the adaptation is currently in the writing stage and is expected to go on floors in 2028. However, a report by Hindustan Times suggests that none of it is true.

As per the media outlet, the author was surprised to read such reports.

"I’m in the UK with my son right now and I woke up to a flood of messages. The rights for the Shiva Trilogy are with me. And nothing has been signed with anyone as yet. Of course, I have huge respect for Ranveer, and am a big fan of his. But this news is not true," Tripathi told the media outlet.

While there was much anticipation to see Ranveer playing a mythological character after the record-breaking success of Dhurandhar, with Tripathi quashing the reports, it seems that there's only disappointment left for the fans.

Meanwhile, Ranveer, who is still basking in the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is expected to reunite with Aditya Dhar for a yet-untitled project which will go on floors in March 2027.

Interestingly, Ranveer-Aditya's Dhurandhar: The Revenge has crossed Rs 1700 crore at the box office becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film surpassing Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Aamir Khan's Dangal rules the first spot.
