Amish Tripathi, the author of the bestselling mythological fantasy novel 'The Immortals of Meluha', has dismissed rumors that actor Ranveer Singh has acquired the rights to adapt the book into a film trilogy. In a statement to Variety India, Tripathi clarified that he retains the rights to the Shiva Trilogy and has not signed any agreements for adaptation. Despite the buzz, he expressed respect for Singh, stating, 'this news is not true.' Earlier reports had suggested that Singh was passionate about bringing the story to the big screen and was in the process of developing a cinematic universe around it, with plans for three films. However, no official agreements have been finalized. The project is currently in the writing phase, with the focus on script development before a director is appointed. Meanwhile, Singh has other projects lined up, including a film directed by Aditya Dhar set to begin shooting in March 2027, and 'Pralay', directed by Jay Mehta, expected to start in August 2026. On a personal note, Singh and his wife Deepika Padukone are expecting their second child.
