As for Bade Sahab’s identity, speculations suggest that it’s an alias for either Dawood Ibrahim or Maulana Masood Azhar. Other new entrants in the cast list, as per the film website, include Raj Zutshi, rumoured to be playing a Pakistani general, and Yami Gautam, rumoured to be doing a cameo in the film. Neither is confirmed.
Following the recent teaser drop of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, anticipation around the action drama has intensified — and if reports are to be believed, the trailer date may already be locked.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, the much-awaited trailer of Dhurandhar 2, headlined by Ranveer Singh, is expected to be unveiled in the first week of March, around March 5. The timing is said to be strategically planned to build steady momentum ahead of the film’s grand Eid release on March 19.
The sequel is said to have been mounted on a significantly bigger scale than its predecessor. From elaborate action set pieces to heightened emotional drama, the makers have reportedly expanded the cinematic universe, pushing the narrative into darker and more intense territory. The early March trailer launch is believed to be part of a long-term promotional plan to sustain excitement right up to release day.
The film is directed by Aditya Dhar and backed by Jio Studios along with B62 Studios. Industry insiders are already positioning it as one of the biggest theatrical spectacles of the year.
