Discover Genelia D'Souza’s upcoming movies in 2026, including the action thriller Gunmaaster G9 with Emraan Hashmi and the horror-comedy Police Station Mein Bhoot directed by Ram Gopal Varma.
Genelia D’Souza, popularly known as Genelia Deshmukh, continues to stay active in the film industry with a mix of diverse roles after her successful comeback. In 2025 she impressed audiences with her performance as Sunita in the Aamir Khan-starrer *Sitaare Zameen Par* and played a strong “boss lady” character in the Telugu-Kannada bilingual *Junior*. She also acted in and produced the historical drama *Raja Shivaji*, directed by her husband Riteish Deshmukh, which released in May 2026 and went on to become one of the highest-grossing Marathi films. Her next major project is the action-drama *Gunmaaster G9* (also spelled Gunmaster G9), directed by Aditya Datt. The film stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead role of Agent G9, with Genelia and Aparshakti Khurrana in key supporting parts. Inspired by the classic 1979 spy film *Surakksha*, it features music by Himesh Reshammiya and is being positioned as a mass-appeal action entertainer aimed at younger audiences. Filming for *Gunmaaster G9* has included high-octane sequences such as an eight-day car chase in Mumbai, along with schedules in Uttarakhand and Delhi. The makers are targeting a festive Dussehra release in October 2026, with possible dates around 9 or 16 October, though the final confirmation is still pending due to the crowded release calendar. Alongside the action film, Genelia is part of the horror-comedy *Police Station Mein Bhoot*, directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The story follows an encounter specialist (played by Manoj Bajpayee) who kills a dreaded gangster, only for the ghost to return and haunt the police station. Genelia plays a significant role in the film, with Varma specifically praising her ability to surprise audiences by moving away from her usually sweet and innocent screen image. Shooting for *Police Station Mein Bhoot* began in 2025, and the film is expected to release sometime in 2026. With these two projects, Genelia is exploring contrasting genres—high-energy action and supernatural comedy—while continuing to balance acting with her work as a producer. Fans can look forward to seeing her in fresh avatars later this year.
