Actress Pragya Jaiswal has officially been cast as the female lead opposite Sunny Deol in the highly awaited film Soorya. The confirmation follows the circulation of a behind-the-scenes video from the film’s Jaipur shooting schedule, which spread rapidly on social media and offered fans their first look at the duo together on screen.
Helmed by M. Padmakumar — the director behind the acclaimed Malayalam original Joseph — Soorya represents a compelling fusion of diverse filmmaking styles. The Hindi remake is being bankrolled by Kamal Mukut’s MM Moviez, the production banner responsible for last year’s box office phenomenon Gadar 2.
The leaked footage, featuring Sunny Deol and Pragya Jaiswal in an intense dramatic moment, has ignited excitement among audiences and put to rest rumors surrounding her casting. Sources indicate that Pragya will portray a significant, emotionally layered character who serves as the story’s emotional anchor — a role defined by depth, strength, and substantial dramatic weight.
Fresh off acclaimed performances in Khel Khel Mein and Daaku Maharaaj, Pragya continues her rising momentum with this high-profile project. Combined with Sunny Deol’s resurgence following the massive success of Gadar 2, their on-screen partnership in Soorya is shaping up to be among the year’s most compelling casting announcements.
Presently filming across stunning Rajasthan locales, Soorya aims to merge thriller components with intimate human storytelling, honoring the spirit of its Malayalam source material while expanding its cinematic scope. The production is targeting a theatrical debut later this year, with industry insiders hinting that an official statement from the filmmakers is forthcoming.
It appears Bollywood is primed for another commanding Sunny Deol resurgence — with Pragya Jaiswal poised to shine alongside him in what promises to be a noteworthy collaboration.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses. Sonnet 4.5
