Acclaimed filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK — popularly known as Raj & DK — are gearing up for a highly anticipated return to the big screen after a seven-year hiatus. Best known in recent years for their critically acclaimed streaming series such as The Family Man, Farzi, Guns & Gulaabs (2023), and Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024), the duo is now balancing their robust OTT portfolio with plans for theatrical ventures, as reported by Mid-Day.
According to sources, Raj & DK are currently immersed in the development of three major series: Farzi Season 2, the crime thriller Rakt Bramhand, and the post-production of The Family Man Season 3. Farzi 2, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, is expected to go on floors in late 2025, with production scheduled to wrap by mid-2026. Once that is complete, the directors plan to kick off their theatrical comeback.
The filmmakers have reportedly shortlisted two potential scripts for their theatrical return. While they will direct one of the films themselves, the other will be helmed by a collaborator — a method they’ve successfully employed in the past by nurturing fresh talent like Suparn Varma (The Family Man 2) and Amar Kaushik (Stree). They also previously launched Praveen Kandregula with the Telugu indie Cinema Bandi (2021).
The last theatrical project Raj & DK directed was the horror comedy Stree (2018), which was a massive critical and commercial success. Prior to that, their filmography included cult hits like Go Goa Gone (2013) and Happy Ending (2014), as well as the underwhelming A Gentleman (2017).
While they prepare for this cinematic return, Raj & DK remain deeply committed to the digital space that helped redefine their careers. As pioneers of long-form Hindi storytelling on streaming platforms, they continue to be among the most trusted names in India’s OTT landscape, consistently delivering high-quality, engaging content.
