Anil Sharma is back on set, and this time he is building something far bigger than a single film. The director of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Gadar 2 has shared a fresh progress note from Arjun Naga, his upcoming period action drama: the team has filmed a song, with music by Himesh Reshammiya.
In a brief note, Sharma wrote, as translated by the source, “A director is no less than an emperor on set.” He added that he was “feeling the same” while shooting the film.
What we know from the update
The photograph and note confirm that the first instalment is actively in production. Shooting is happening in Mumbai, Rajasthan and international locations. A worldwide theatrical release is planned for 2027.
Arjun Naga at a glance
- Story: a four-part saga set against Dubai’s oil rush of the 1960s.
- Backdrop: the transformation that followed the oil discoveries of 1966.
- Lead: Utkarsh Sharma in the titular role.
- Antagonist: Arjun Rampal.
- Ensemble: Randeep Hooda and Celina Jaitly.
- Producer: Anil Sharma Productions.
Why the song matters
Music is often the first big marketing signal for a Hindi film, and bringing Himesh Reshammiya on board gives Arjun Naga an immediate hook for the mass audience. A filmed song is not the same as a released song — there is no launch date yet — but it shows that the production is moving from planning into craft.
For Sharma, the project is also a statement of scale. After the enormous success of Gadar 2, he is not rushing a follow-up; he is attempting a four-film story, with the first part alone being built as a theatrical event.
What fans should do now
The practical takeaway is simple: keep 2027 as the release window to watch, and treat any music launch before then as the next milestone. There is no trailer or song date yet, so the film’s momentum will depend on production updates like this one.
The update is small, but the ambition behind it is not. Arjun Naga is officially moving, and its first song is in the can.
