Ajay Devgn's next 'Chauhaan' announced on Veeru Devgan's birth anniversary
Mumbai, June 25
Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn is back in a fierce new avatar with his next 'Chauhaan'. Adding to the buzz, the makers dropped the adrenaline-filled title announcement on Thursday.
Providing a glimpse into the action-packed world, the preview was unveiled on the late action director and Ajay Devgn's father, Veeru Devgan's, birth anniversary.
Set against the backdrop of Kashmir unrest, the preview shows the police trying to tackle the unruly crowd.
The action-packed title announcement was accompanied by the caption, "#CHAUHAAN aa raha hai. On the late Veeru Devgan Ji's birth anniversary, we are bringing back our OG action star, Ajay Devgn, in an action entertainer built for the big screen (Collision emoji) In cinemas on 1st October, 2027. Thank you Veeru Ji, for everything you gave to action cinema, and for a legacy that continues to inspire generations (folded hands emoji) (sic)."
The highlight of the video was the iconic 'Jumma Chumma De De' song from the 1991 release 'Hum'. The popular track was heard playing in the backdrop and ending with the massy dialogue, "Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai".
The film also marks Ajay Devgn's first-ever professional association with filmmaker Aanand L Rai.
Presented by Jio Studios and Colour Yellow banner, 'Chauhaan' has been made under the direction of Neeraj Yadav.
Jointly backed by Jyoti Deshpande, Aanand L Rai, and Himanshu Sharma, the drama is expected to reach the cinema halls on 1st October 2027.
Meanwhile, remembering his late father on his birth anniversary, Ajay Devgn dropped a nostalgic video from the archives on social media.
In the old video, Veeru Devgan revealed that he knew that his son would be an actor someday.
"Since the day he was born, I had a feeling that he would definitely become an actor. I was also interested in becoming an actor. When I saw that I am not worthy of it, I thought let's see what happens next. Since then I had a feeling that I should make him a hero," he was heard saying.

Loving the tribute aspect with Veeru ji's birth anniversary. But a bit worried about the Kashmir setting - hope they show the situation sensitively and not just as a backdrop for action sequences. The dialogue about "Pathaanon" could be tricky. Have to wait and see how it's handled.
Ajay Devgn + Aanand L. Rai = blockbuster combination! Singham Returns level confidence. And releasing on 1st October 2027 means they have plenty of time to polish the VFX. Can't wait for the full trailer. Let the 'OG action star' era begin 💪
Am I the only one wondering why they used Jumma Chumma De De song? That feels so random for a 2027 action film. But Ajay sir's intensity in the preview looks solid. As long as it's not another copy-paste action film, I'm excited. The legacy of Veeru Devgan deserves respect.
Sirf naam 'Chauhaan' sunke hi goosebumps aa gaye! Ajay Devgn is the only actor who can carry such a raw, rustic character. The Kashmir unrest backdrop is perfect for a hard-hitting action film. Just hoping the story doesn't get lost in the massy dialogues. Hum ko kuch alag chahiye! 🎬
Okay, the nostalgia factor is strong here. Bold move by Aanand L Rai stepping into action territory. The 3-year wait is insane though! Hope the team uses this time to create something truly groundbreaking. And thank you to
