Ajay Devgn is heading back to the action genre with Chauhaan, and the makers have officially unveiled the film's first look. The announcement video introduces the project with an intense, action-packed glimpse that has already caught the attention of fans, particularly for its closing dialogue: "Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai."
Ajay Devgn in and as Chauhaan
The film was announced on Instagram on the birth anniversary of legendary action choreographer and Ajay Devgn's father, Veeru Devgan. Sharing the first glimpse, the makers wrote, “#CHAUHAAN aa raha hai. On the late Veeru Devgan Ji’s birth anniversary, we are bringing back our OG action star, Ajay Devgn, in an action entertainer built for the big screen. In cinemas on 1st October, 2027. Thank you Veeru Ji, for everything you gave to action cinema, and for a legacy that continues to inspire generations.”
The title announcement sets the tone for an action entertainer against the backdrop of Kashmir. The video opens with a powerful monologue that speaks about decades of conflict, a heavy military presence and temporary measures that have failed to restore lasting peace. It then builds towards a warning that a new force is arriving, ending with the dialogue, “Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai.”
Adding to the nostalgia, the teaser features the iconic song Jumma Chumma De De in the background. The makers also clarified that the track has been used under licence from Saregama India Limited. Watch the announcement video of Chauhaan here:
