Siddharth Anand’s Indian version of the iconic Hollywood film Rambo has undergone six years of development. Although the ambitious action-packed spectacle was initially unveiled in 2017, featuring Tiger Shroff in the lead role, it has undergone multiple setbacks causing delays. But, the much-anticipated Rambo remake, which has been in the works for a while, appears to be gaining momentum.
Pinkvilla has exclusively found out that Janhvi Kapoor has been cast alongside Tiger Shroff in the upcoming Rambo adaptation. In this action-packed drama directed by Rohit Dhawan, Janhvi will assume the role of the female lead, marking her first on-screen collaboration with Tiger. A source close to the project revealed, “Tiger and Janhvi are finally working together after several attempts in the past. Janhvi’s character details in Rambo are being kept under wraps at the moment, but she plays a pivotal role crucial to the storyline. Both actors have known each other for years and are excited to finally collaborate professionally,” a source close to the project shared. Before this, Tiger and Janhvi were to work together in Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and later in an untitled action thriller directed by Jagan Shakti, but these projects fell through due to scheduling conflicts.
The Rambo remake is set to start shooting in January 2024 and will be filmed in various locations across Europe on a large scale. The producer and director aim to create a quintessential Indian action hero, and to achieve this, Tiger will receive rigorous training from international experts in weapons and guerrilla warfare. He will play the role of the last surviving member of an elite Indian Armed Forces unit who returns home to find his country in turmoil.
“Siddharth Anand, Rohit Dhawan and their team have passionately been working on this project and have crafted a beautiful adaptation of Rambo in an Indian context. They are infusing their unique vision while presenting Tiger in a way that captures Sylvester Stallone’s essence and persona, while also differentiating his character from John J. Rambo. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the Indian Rambo delivers a visual spectacle with international-level action,” the source further said.
