The film draws inspiration from real incidents associated with crime syndicates in Karachi’s Lyari region, narrating India’s covert operations against terrorism in Pakistan.
Stellar Cast and Character Highlights
Dhurandhar features an impressive ensemble cast, including:
- Ranveer Singh
- Akshaye Khanna
- Arjun Rampal
- Rakesh Bedi
- Sara Arjun
- R. Madhavan
- Sanjay Dutt
Among them, Rakesh Bedi plays the role of Jameel Jamali, providing a notable performance that complements the film’s gripping narrative.
Rakesh Bedi Comments on Aditya Dhar’s Humility
Amidst the film’s success, Aditya Dhar has chosen to remain out of the spotlight, avoiding interviews and public engagements. Rakesh Bedi praised Dhar’s humble demeanor during a conversation with Filmygyan. He remarked, “This year, Dhurandhar is such a big hit, and this is just the beginning. But he isn’t in the limelight at all. He is spending quality time with his family instead.” Bedi highlighted Dhar’s lack of interest in grandeur and publicity, focusing instead on personal connections.
Post-Release Spiritual Journey
Following Dhurandhar’s release, Aditya Dhar and his wife, actress Yami Gautam, visited the revered Naina Devi Temple in Himachal Pradesh. Accompanied by Yami’s mother, Anjali Gautam, they engaged in traditional rituals before heading back to Mumbai.
Future Prospects of Dhurandhar
With its box office run still ongoing, there are indications that Dhurandhar could soar even higher, particularly with predictions suggesting potential earnings could reach Rs 300 crore. The film has also garnered international attention, earning approximately Rs 44.08 crore globally within just four days.
Challenges in Overseas Markets
However, the film’s overseas performance has faced challenges due to a complete ban in the Gulf region, which traditionally supports Bollywood films. Countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have refrained from screening Dhurandhar, hindering its international earnings.
Dhurandhar 2 – Revenge Scheduled for 2026
In an exciting development for fans, the creators of Dhurandhar have confirmed a sequel titled Dhurandhar 2 – Revenge, scheduled for release on March 19, 2026. This upcoming installment is set to clash with the much-anticipated film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, promising a fierce competition at the box office.
