Just when Bollywood gossip mills were getting restless, Ranveer Singh dropped a fiery surprise on Tuesday morning and the internet instantly woke up. One poster. One caption. One promise of revenge. And suddenly, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ was no longer a rumour but a full-blown storm.
After weeks of quiet buzz and whispered guesses, the promotions for the sequel have officially begun. Ranveer revealed the first look of the film and confirmed its final title: ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’.
And judging by that intense poster, this is not going to be a calm ride.
Ranveer Singh’s first look sets the mood
Ranveer took to Instagram early Tuesday to share his look as Hamza, also known as Jaskirat, from the upcoming sequel. The poster shows him standing in heavy rain, fists clenched, staring straight into the camera. Everything around him is soaked in deep red light giving the image a dark and angry feel.
Behind him, the title ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ looms large. It’s bold. It’s loud. And it clearly means business.
In the caption, Ranveer wrote, “Ab bigadne ka waqt aa gaya hai” hinting that his character is ready to cross limits this time. Fans immediately picked up on the message that Hamza is not holding back anymore.
Teaser timing and release date revealed
Ranveer didn’t stop at just the poster. He also confirmed when fans can expect their first moving glimpse of the film.
The teaser will be released at 12:12 PM on Tuesday, adding a dramatic touch to the announcement. The film itself is set to hit theatres worldwide on March 19, 2026.
The movie will release in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Another detail that fans loved was Ranveer sharing the poster in five different languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. It’s a clear signal that ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ is aiming for massive pan-India and global audience.
Akshaye Khanna’s quiet return raises eyebrows
But here’s where the gossip really kicked in.
While tagging the cast in his post, Ranveer also tagged Akshaye Khanna. This instantly caught fans’ attention because Akshaye played the villain Rehman Dakait in the first film and his character died in the climax.
So why tag him now?

Industry buzz suggests Akshaye may return through flashback scenes possibly revealing hidden layers of the story. Nothing is officially confirmed yet. But the tag alone was enough to send fans into theory mode.
Why Dhurandhar became a blockbuster
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the first ‘Dhurandhar’ released on December 5 and turned into a monster hit. The spy thriller followed Ranveer’s character as an Indian agent who infiltrates Karachi’s underworld and breaks its links with terror networks.
The film also starred Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna, all of whom are expected to return in the sequel.
With a worldwide collection of over ₹1300 crore, ‘Dhurandhar’ became one of the biggest blockbusters in Bollywood history.
