Choreographer and filmmaker Ganesh Acharya has announced his next directorial titled, Ganesh: Dust to Stardust . Its first look was unveiled by the makers on Monday (September 14, 2026). Co-written by Ganesh with Digangana Suryavanshi, the film is produced by Soundarya and stars debutant Shivanshu Soni in the lead.

The promo shows a dancer bowing before an idol of lord Ganesha and then swirling rapidly with the vocals of Sonu Nigam accompanying him. The film promises to be an underdog story with an element of dance.

Speaking about the film, Ganesh Acharya said in a statement, “ Ganesh Dust To Stardust is a very special film for me. We have made it with a lot of heart, and I am excited to finally share its first glimpse with the audience. I hope they enjoy what we have created.”

Ganesh Acharya has earlier directed Swami (2007), Money Hai To Honey Hai (2008) and the 2017 Marathi feature, Bhikari . He has won the National Film Award for Best Choreography for the songs ‘Hawan Kund’ from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and ‘Gori tu lath mar’ from Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017).
