‘KD-The Devil’ is a pan-India multilingual film directed by Prem, scheduled to be released in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi. It is a period action entertainer grounded in real events from the 1970s in Bangalore. This cinematic venture promises to captivate audiences across languages and regions, boasting a rich tapestry of historical accuracy and high-octane drama.
But that’s not all for Dutt’s fans. This year appears to be particularly bountiful for them as Sanjay Dutt is set to appear in multiple projects. Following ‘KD – The Devil,’ Dutt is reuniting with iconic actress Raveena Tandon in the film ‘Ghudchadi.’ Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Khushalii Kumar and Parth Samthaan, ‘Ghudchadi’ will premiere on the OTT platform JioCinema on August 9.

Each project signifies a unique genre and storytelling approach, showcasing Dutt’s versatility as an actor.
And as if this lineup wasn’t impressive enough, the ‘Housefull’ franchise’s shift to a cruise ship setting in ‘Housefull 5’ stands as a testament to the evolving nature of Hindi cinema. Exploring uncharted waters and aiming to amplify the hilarity and ensemble chemistry, this installment hopes to set a precedent for future franchises.
As the release dates draw near, fans and cinephiles eagerly await these projects featuring Sanjay Dutt, with ‘KD – The Devil’ in the lead, setting the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating cinematic experience.
