Ajay Devgn’s Long-Delayed Thriller Naam Set to Finally Release!
Ajay Devgn fans, rejoice! A film that has been stuck in limbo for nearly 18 years is finally gearing up for release.
The long-pending psychological thriller, titled Naam, directed by Anees Bazmee, is slated to hit theaters soon.
Originally expected to release in 2006, the movie faced multiple setbacks—until now. Here’s everything we know about Naam and its much-anticipated release.
The Long Wait is Over: Naam to Release on November 22, 2024
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film will arrive in theaters on November 22, 2024. This release isn’t limited to India—it will also have a worldwide rollout.
The distribution will be handled by Pen Marudhar, ensuring the movie reaches audiences across the globe.
This, however, isn’t the first time the release rumors have surfaced. Several earlier reports hinted at Naam finding its way to screens, but the project remained shelved for years.
Anees Bazmee’s Unreleased Films: A Familiar Pattern
This situation reminds us of another delayed project by Anees Bazmee—It’s My Life. Starring Harman Baweja and Genelia D’Souza, the film was completed long ago but was ultimately released directly on television in 2020.
Around the same time, Bazmee hinted that Naam might also skip theaters in favor of a release on TV or OTT platforms, but nothing materialized.
Then, in 2022, a ray of hope emerged when producer Anil Rungta acquired the rights to Naam under his banner, Rungta Entertainment. Rungta shared his enthusiasm, saying,
Naam is special to me. After Deewangi, Hulchul, and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, this marks the fourth collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee.
A Look Back: Shooting Memories of Naam
On October 3, 2019, Anees Bazmee shared a nostalgic post on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He posted a picture with Ajay Devgn, reminiscing about the time they shot the film in Switzerland
.
Bazmee captioned the photo: This picture was taken during the shoot of Naam with Ajay Devgn, Bhumika Chawla, and Sameera Reddy. It’s a suspense thriller that I hope will release one day and captivate everyone.
The film’s production took place in Mumbai and Switzerland, and early teasers suggested that the movie also touches upon patriotism. However, only the film’s release will reveal the full story.
A Psychological Thriller with a Patriotic Touch
Naam promises to deliver a unique blend of psychological thrills and emotional drama, possibly involving patriotic themes.
The intriguing combination of these elements, paired with Anees Bazmee’s signature storytelling, makes it a film to watch out for.
A Fourth Collaboration Between Devgn and Bazmee
Naam marks the fourth collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee, following the successes of Deewangi, Hulchul, and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha.
Their past films were well-received, and fans have high expectations from this project. Given the hype surrounding the release, Naam has the potential to deliver a gripping cinematic experience.
Conclusion
With ‘Naam’ finally set to release on November 22, 2024, fans of Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee can look forward to a long-awaited thriller.
After being stuck in production for nearly two decades, the film is expected to bring excitement to theaters.
