Ajay Devgn to star in Aanand L Rai's action film 'Chauhaan'; teaser released
Mumbai, June 25
Ajay Devgn is set to star in Aanand L Rai's action drama 'Chauhaan'.
Jio Studios and Colour Yellow unveiled the film's first look and title announcement on Thursday. The makers also confirmed that the action entertainer will release in cinemas on October 1, 2027.
The announcement was made on social media on the birth anniversary of late action director Veeru Devgan.
Paying tribute to his contribution to Indian cinema, the studio wrote, "Thank you Veeru Ji, for everything you gave to action cinema, and for a legacy that continues to inspire generations."
Described as "an action entertainer built for the big screen," the film brings Ajay Devgn back to a larger-than-life action hero role.
The actor, who has headlined several popular action films over the years, appears in a fierce new avatar in the first-look teaser.
'Chauhaan' also marks Devgn's first-ever collaboration with filmmaker Aanand L Rai.
Jio Studios is presenting and producing the project alongside Colour Yellow, making it one of the notable partnerships currently lined up in Hindi cinema.
The title announcement video features the iconic track 'Jumma Chumma De De' in the background and concludes with the dialogue, "Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai."
The teaser offers a glimpse into what the makers describe as the film's gritty and action-packed world.
Directed by Neeraj Yadav, Chauhaan is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aanand L Rai, and Himanshu Sharma.

Hope this isn't another over-the-top masala film with no story. Ajay sir is a great actor but lately his action movies have been hit or miss. Aanand L Rai usually makes good content films though, so maybe there's substance too. Let's see... 🤔
Veeru Devgan's legacy deserves this tribute. He literally shaped action cinema in India - from 'Phool Aur Kaante' to 'Sangharsh'. Seeing this film announced on his birth anniversary is beautiful. Ajay carrying forward his father's legacy! ❤️💪
2027 release? Seriously? What is this, Hollywood ki planning? By the time it releases, Ajay Devgn will be 58! The teaser looks promising but why announce so early? Just create hype later nahi hota kya? 😒
'Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai' - haan, thoda cringe but adrenaline pumping honestly. Ajay in a fierce avatar is always a treat. Also great to see Jio Studios backing quality projects. Let's hope Neeraj Yadav delivers a solid directorial debut! 🎬
I wish they'd focus on fresh talent instead of recycling the same stars. Ajay Devgn is fine but we need new action heroes. Also 'Chauhaan' sounds like a caste surname - hope the film doesn't play into those regressive stereotypes. Just clean action please.
