Ajay Devgn fans have been urging their favourite star to return to his OG genre action. At last, it seems that the superstar has heard the voice of his ardent supporters. On Thursday, production house Jio Studios confirmed that the actor would be headlining a project titled 'Chauhaan', which will release in theatres on October 1, 2027.

'Chauhaan' is set against the backdrop of the 2018 unrest in the Kashmir Valley. The clip shows the police trying to control the unruly crowd. The highlight of the clip is the iconic 'Jumma Chumma De De' song from the 1991-film 'Hum', starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth.

The track can be heard in the latter half of the announcement video, and the clip ends with Ajay Devgn saying a massy dialogue, “Pathaanon se kehna, Chauhaan aa raha hai.”
