At 68, Sunny Deol is showing no signs of slowing down, after the massive global success of his recent release, Border 2. According to the latest reports, he has officially moved on to his next big project, an action thriller titled Antony. Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment in collaboration with A.R. Murugadoss’ production banner, Antony promises to be a high-octane cinematic experience. The film is being directed by newcomer Balaji Ganesh, a filmmaker from Chennai who has previously sharpened his skills by assisting Murugadoss on several major productions. Adding to the excitement is the casting of Vijay Varma, who is set to play the main antagonist. Known for his versatile performances, his face-off with Sunny is expected to be a major highlight of this suspense thriller. Jyotika is also reportedly cast in a pivotal role.
According to Variety India, the filming for Antony started on February 27 in Mumbai. The filming is scheduled to wrap up by July 2026, with the makers targeting a theatrical release in early 2027. This new project comes during Sunny’s incredible box-office run. His film Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, became the biggest hit of 2026. The war drama, based on the 1971 India-Pakistan conflict, earned more than Rs 327 crore net domestically and reached nearly Rs 450 crore globally within 39 days of its release.
The year 2026 remains packed for Sunny, with five back-to-back releases scheduled. His next film, Gabru, directed by Shashank Udapurkar, is set to hit theaters on May 8, 2026. This will be followed by Rajkumar Santoshi’s action-drama Lahore 1947, arriving during the Independence Day weekend. Later in the year, he will be seen as Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s highly anticipated Ramayana Part 1, which is slated for a Diwali release.
