Prabhas’ presence at the screening holds added significance amid the current box office race, as Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has officially surpassed the nearly decade-long domestic record set by Prabhas’ blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. As of April 9, 2026, Dhurandhar 2 has reportedly earned approximately INR 1,041.27 crore in India net collections, overtaking Baahubali 2, which held the record with an estimated INR 1,030-INR 1,033 crore, marking a major milestone in Hindi cinema’s box office history. While Dhurandhar 2 has claimed the crown for the highest India net collection, industry experts note that the "Prabhas vs. Ranveer" box office battle remains a heartening sign of the Indian film industry's robust health.

Actress Triptii Dimri has now officially joined the film as the new female lead. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film also features Vivek Oberoi and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles, with the filmmaker aiming for a 2027 release.
