Ajay Devgn had announced his ambitious project Chanakya with director Neeraj Pandey back in 2018 and since then there is excitement amongst the audience. He will essay the role of ancient Indian scholar, teacher, and advisor, Chanakya in the film. A leading daily has now reported that Ajay is planning to take Chanakya on floors by October. The Neeraj Pandey-directed venture, which will be a modern adaptation of the teachings of Chanakya, will begin with a long schedule in Dubai.

A trade source mentioned, "Ajay will begin Chanakya after he completes the first schedule of the Amit Sharma-directed movie that rolls on August 19. Currently, Neeraj is adding the finishing touches to his script. The plan is to begin the shoot in Dubai, followed by a stint in Azerbaijan. Said to be inspired by current affairs, the socio-political drama sees Ajay as a shrewd strategist who is the brain behind a leading political party. The movie will draw parallels between his administrative style and that of the 4th century master tactician."
