Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri Team Up for Vishal Bhardwaj’s 1990s Action Thriller ‘Arjun Ustara’
The star-studded film, also featuring Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda, promises an electrifying cinematic experience on December 5, 2025.
Bollywood is gearing up for a cinematic treat as Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri pair up for the first time in Vishal Bhardwaj’s highly anticipated action thriller, Arjun Ustara. Set against the gritty backdrop of the 1990s, the film will explore the world of gangsters and promises a gripping narrative packed with action and drama.
Joining the stellar cast are Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda, both in pivotal roles that will undoubtedly elevate the film’s intensity. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the movie is set to begin filming on January 6, 2025, with a grand theatrical release planned for December 5, 2025.
The project marks a reunion for Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj, a duo that has delivered cinematic masterpieces like Kaminey (2009) and Haider (2014). Their last collaboration, Rangoon (2017), fell short of expectations, but Arjun Ustara promises to reignite their creative synergy.
Adding intrigue to the film is the fresh pairing of Shahid and Triptii Dimri, whose on-screen chemistry is expected to be a major highlight. Fans are eager to see how the two actors bring their characters to life under Bhardwaj’s expert direction.
A day before the film’s official announcement, Shahid shared his excitement on Instagram, teasing fans with insights into his role. “Prep time… Sliding into the edgy, nasty gangster ’90s,” he wrote, hinting at a character that is both complex and intense.
Meanwhile, elaborate sets are being constructed in Mumbai to recreate the 1990s vibe, promising an authentic visual experience. While the film’s title is yet to be finalized—Arjun Ustara and Evil are under consideration—the buzz surrounding the project continues to grow.
Before Arjun Ustara, Shahid will grace the big screen in Deva, opposite Pooja Hegde. The film, set for release on January 31, 2025, showcases the actor in a dark and menacing avatar, raising expectations for his gangster role in Arjun Ustara.
With its powerhouse cast, compelling storyline, and Bhardwaj’s directorial genius, Arjun Ustara is poised to be a cinematic spectacle that fans won’t want to miss.
