The much‑anticipated sequel to Dhurandhar, starring Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh, is scheduled to premiere on Gudi Padwa, the Marathi New Year.
The sequel to the 2021 hit Dhurandhar, titled Dhurandhar 2, is slated for a theatrical release on Gudi Padwa, the traditional Marathi New Year celebrated on March 22, 2026. The film will be distributed by the same banner that handled the original, aiming to capitalize on the festive season.
Aditya Dhar returns as the lead, with Ranveer Singh co‑starring in a pivotal role. The duo is expected to reprise their characters from the first installment, bringing back the blend of action and humor that resonated with audiences. Supporting cast members include a mix of seasoned actors and fresh faces, though details remain under wraps.
Industry analysts predict that the film could surpass the box‑office performance of its predecessor, given the star power and the strategic release timing. While the original Dhurandhar grossed ₹70 crore worldwide, Dhurandhar 2 is projected to target a higher opening weekend, especially with the holiday crowd.
Production notes indicate that filming wrapped in early 2025, with post‑production completed in late 2025. The makers have hinted at high‑end visual effects and a soundtrack featuring popular musicians, aiming to deliver a polished cinematic experience for the 2026 audience.
