Ranger, featuring Devgn alongside Tamannaah Bhatia, pits a fearless forest officer against a menacing antagonist played by Sanjay Dutt. The film’s last schedule was originally planned in the forests of Thailand and Sri Lanka. However, after Cyclone Ditwah affected Sri Lanka, the makers swiftly shifted the shoot to India.

Sources confirm that the team finalised locations at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary and Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary in the Palghar district of Maharashtra. The schedule was completed smoothly earlier this week.
