Upcoming High Budget Movies of India

In India, every big budget movie is followed by hype as well as hope of peak entertainment no matter when it is supposed to release. From the North to South, including Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, and all other film industries, big superstars and their lavish entertainers do attract the public to theaters better than anyone else. In recent times, we have seen several such movies spreading their magic at the box office. Hopefully, this would remain the same for even more of the big budget films in India.
In the current New Movie Calender, we see tons of such movies, mostly action entertainers, set to grace the big screens sooner or later. These much-hyped movies include comedies, fancy action thrillers, as well as period epics. Let’s take a look at top 8 of such Upcoming High Budget Movies of India:

8. King

Ending Shah Rukh Khan’s hiatus after three back-to-back big box office grossers is the raw action thriller King. The film would mark his reunion with director Siddharth Anand after Pathaan and looking at the film’s cast, it could surely be something we remember as a great ensemble. The King movie star cast consists of Shah Rukh Khan along with his daughter Suhana Khan making her theatrical debut. King is made on a budget of Rs 200 crore approx.
This movie also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Saurabh Shukla, Abhay Verma, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, and Raghav Juyal in the lead. As the shooting schedule for King has begun very recently, we do not expect the film to release any time before 2026. Yet, the names attached to the film makes it one of the most exciting movies of India.

Anything related to our mythology or history instantly becomes the most awaited movie of the future especially when it is made on a mammoth budget with a talented cast and crew.
