Deepak Venkateshan Joins Ajay Devgn - Rohit Jugraj’s Next as Writer

In an exciting development for Ajay Devgn fans, Deepak Venkateshan has officially come on board as the writer for the upcoming film tentatively titled Griha Pravesh starring Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Jugraj.

Venkateshan brings with him a strong background in crafting intense and suspense-driven narratives. He is best known for his work on popular television shows like Saavdhan India, Aahat, and Darr Sabko Lagta Hai - all of which have built a reputation for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

On the film front, he has contributed to projects like Naam Shabana, showcasing his ability to blend action with sharp narrative structure. His experience in the thriller and suspense genre is expected to add a compelling layer to this new collaboration.

While details about the film remain under wraps, the combination of Ajay Devgn’s intense screen presence, Rohit Jugraj’s direction, and Deepak Venkateshan’s writing signals a project that could lean heavily into drama, tension, and high-stakes storytelling.

The biggest headline coming out of the pre-production camp is the nature of Ajay Devgn’s role. Sources indicate that Devgn is moving away from the protective patriarch tropes seen in Shaitaan and Drishyam. Instead, he will be leaning into a character with distinctly negative shades.

Ajay will wrap up his portions for the mega-blockbuster Golmaal 5 by early summer. Immediately after, in July 2026, the team will fly to the United Kingdom. The film will be shot in a start-to-finish marathon in London, utilizing the city’s foggy, gothic architecture to mirror the dark themes of the script.
