With fans waiting for the release of Dhurandhar 2, there is one question that everyone is thinking about: Who is Bade Sahab in the movie? Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, the film
has already sparked massive buzz, but the identity of the actor playing Bade Sahab remains one of its biggest secrets.
In the first installment of the superhit movie, references to Bade Sahab appear multiple times, establishing him as the powerful superior of ISI chief Major Iqbal. The character is said to be the mastermind operating behind the scenes, making him one of the most intriguing figures in the franchise. Even Sanjay Dutt’s character SP Chaudhary Aslam frequently mentions Bade Sahab, hinting at the latter’s influence within the terror network.
As fans wait to know who might play Bade Sahab in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, casting director Mukesh Chhabra also took to his X handle recently and dropped an intriguing post. “Who is the Bade Bhai Sahab? The guess game is still on. Just wait a few more days, guys — you’ll get all your answers,” he wrote.

Reacting to Mukesh’s post, one of the users wrote, “Itʼs either Salman Khan or Emraan Hashmi”. It should be noted that previously, a photo of Salman from the sets of Dhurandhar had also gone viral on social media.
Another user claimed that Anil Kapoor was approached by the makers for the part but he could not sign the project due to certain reasons. Several others asked Chhabra to reveal the secret soon.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is expected to pick up directly from the cliffhanger ending of the original film. The sequel will further explore Jaskirat’s dual identity and the wider intelligence operation unfolding across borders. The narrative is also likely to focus on the shifting power dynamics within Karachi’s underworld following the death of Rehman Dakait.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film continues Aditya Dhar’s large-scale spy action franchise. Like its predecessor, the sequel has been mounted on a big scale and will be released in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is scheduled to arrive in theatres worldwide on March 19, 2026.
