Ahan Shetty is heading to the sets of his next project. Sunil Shetty’s son begins shooting “Sanki” in Bhopal on October 30, his first announced film since “Border 2,” which opened on January 23.
The film is described as an action drama with a love story at its core. Gyanendra Vasudev wrote it, and it is directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, whose earlier films include “Rustom” and “Mission Raniganj.” Desai has already reached Bhopal with his crew to finish preparations. The makers have kept the story under wraps and plan to share details in the coming months. The film is produced by We The People, Roaring River Productions and Pals & Peers Entertainment; the source text spells the last banner “Pals & Pears.” socialnews
The Bhopal Schedule
According to Variety India, the Bhopal schedule is expected to include some of the film’s biggest stunt sequences, with a crew of over 200 including action teams, choreographers and dancers. That fits the “romantic-action” billing, though plot details have not been confirmed. newsbytesapp
A Title With a History
The title “Sanki” was earlier associated with a different project featuring Ahan and Pooja Hegde. A source said the new film has a different script and banner, and the only common factors are the title and the lead actor. Readers searching for the film may therefore see older reports about the earlier project. Wikipedia lists Ahan’s character in the current film as ACP Veerendra “Veer” Saigal, though the makers have not officially confirmed it. newsbytesapp
What’s Next for Ahan
After “Sanki,” he is expected in Vikram Bhatt’s “1920 Cold Winter,” and more projects are expected to start filming in 2027. Reports say he has been selective since “Border 2.”
About “Border 2”
Released on January 23, 2026, “Border 2” is a sequel to the 1997 film and is inspired by the 1971 India-Pakistan war. It features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan. The source text says it cost ₹275 crore and earned about ₹464 crore, and that Ahan played Lt Commander Mahendra Singh Rawat. I could not verify these figures or the character name, so check them before publishing.
Why It Matters
Moving from a war film to an action romance gives Ahan a chance to show a different side. Since his debut in “Tadap,” he has been building a career as a leading man, and a lead role in a love story with action is a bigger test of his screen appeal than an ensemble part. The film’s actress and further casting have not been announced.
What Comes Next
Casting announcements, a first-look poster and a release date are the next milestones. Bolly Orbit will update this report as developments emerge.
