A High-Stakes Sequel
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 continues the story of Hamza Ali Mazari, played by Ranveer Singh. The sequel follows the events of the 2025 blockbuster, which grossed over INR 1300 crore worldwide and became a massive hit on digital platforms.
The story is expected to delve deeper into the gritty underworld, with Singh’s character reportedly taking "the throne of Lyari" following the power vacuum left at the end of the first film. The narrative will also reportedly feature more intense action sequences and a darker tone than the original.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ Ensemble Cast and New Additions
The sequel sees the return of the original ensemble cast, including Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun. Speculation has also been mounting regarding new cast members; a recent leak on Letterboxd briefly listed Emraan Hashmi for a role titled "Bada Saheb," though his name was quickly removed from the credits.
Additionally, actress Yami Gautam, who recently shared her "first review" of the film after a private screening, described the sequel as "beyond extraordinary," further fueling the hype ahead of its release.
Box Office Outlook
Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled to hit theatres on March 19, 2026. Unlike the first part, which initially saw a Hindi-only theatrical run, the sequel is planned for a massive pan-India release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The film is set for a major box-office clash with the Yash-starrer Toxic, which is also slated for a March 19 release. The immense scale of Dhurandhar 2 has already impacted the regional calendar, with several Telugu films, such as Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit, shifting their release dates to avoid the competition.
