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. As the much-anticipated Rambo remake, which has been in the works for a while, fans have been eagerly waiting for an update. And now a fresh report states that the film has been delayed again due to budget issues.
A source close to the entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama revealed, “Rohit Dhawan and Siddharth Anand were looking to take Rambo on floors from April 2024, however, the same has been delayed due to budget issues. While the film budget is around Rs. 150 crores, the studio partner, Jio Studios, has conveyed their decision to await the release of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, before proceeding with Rambo.”
The source also added, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan(BMCM) is an important film for everyone and it will decide the future course of action for the stakeholders. At the moment, the future of Rambo depends on BMCM. The earliest it can begin now is July 2024.”
Earlier, it was reported that Rambo 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 had previously shared.
