Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is set to headline ‘Samuk’, an upcoming alien action thriller that is being positioned as one of India’s most ambitious science-fiction films. The project marks another collaboration between the actor and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who have previously worked together on several successful films.
According to a PTI report, ‘Samuk’ is being billed as India’s biggest alien action spectacle and will combine elements of survival horror and alien-thriller storytelling on an international scale. The film is expected to offer audiences a large-scale cinematic experience, blending action, suspense, and science-fiction themes.
The project is being co-produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Aashin A Shah. While details about the plot and supporting cast remain under wraps, the makers have indicated that the film will explore the survival-horror genre through a high-concept alien narrative.
‘Samuk’ will be directed by Kanishk Varma, who is set to helm the ambitious production. The film is currently in development and is scheduled for a theatrical release in 2027.
The announcement adds another genre-defining project to Akshay Kumar’s upcoming slate. Known for experimenting across action, comedy, drama, and socially driven films, the actor’s entry into a large-scale alien action thriller signals a growing interest within the Hindi film industry in exploring science-fiction and high-concept storytelling.
With ‘Samuk’, the makers appear to be targeting both domestic and international audiences, leveraging the increasing demand for spectacle-driven cinema and genre films. More details regarding the cast, storyline, and production timeline are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
