In Mumbai's Juhu cinema foyer in 2024, young action-director Kevin Kumar revealed that Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn would be directing key action scenes in the upcoming forest-adventure film, Ranger, set for release in 2025. Produced by Luv Films and Luv Ranjan-Ankur Garg, the movie features a specially created tiger in its VFX.
A source present at the event stated that Ajay Devgn would be playing an unprecedented avatar of a ranger. In March 2025, the film was launched with notable actors Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Tamannaah Bhatia. Director Jagan Shakti was also part of the project.
At the Golden Tobacco Studio in Mumbai, during filming, Ajay Devgn took on the role of director on set, further fueling speculation about his involvement in the film. However, when contacted by The Free Press Journal, Devgn's team denied that he would be officially credited as the director of Ranger. Instead, they affirmed his acting role in the movie.
Despite the denial, Devgn's filmmaking credentials are impressive, having directed films like U, Me, Hum (2008), Shivaay (2016), Runway 34 (2022), and Bholaa (2023). He also recently directed the entire schedule of Maa (2025), taking over from the original director Vishal Furia. Additionally, Devgn previously directed a key cameo scene for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Gangubai Kathiawadi.
