The filmmaker's message arrives as anticipation builds around 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'.
The original film, released in theatres last December, became the highest-grossing film of 2025 and one of the year's biggest box-office successes.
The sequel continues the story of undercover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh. In the new chapter, Rangi is deeply embedded in the criminal underworld under the alias Hamza Ali Mazari.
The narrative suggests that after the death of gangster Rehman Dakait, portrayed in the first film by Akshaye Khanna, Hamza rises through the ranks of Lyari's underworld in Karachi, eventually emerging as "Lyari ka Badshah."
The makers also released the song "Aari Aari" from the film on Dhar's birthday and announced that the original Dhurandhar will be re-released in theatres in India and overseas ahead of the sequel's premiere.
'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' is set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on March 19. (ANI)
