Bollywood fans got their gossip radar tingling when rumours surfaced that Emraan Hashmi might be secretly joining the spy-thriller sequel, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’.
A screenshot of the film’s cast list from Letterboxd went viral on X (formerly Twitter) showing Hashmi’s name alongside the ensemble. Naturally, the internet went into overdrive; could this be the ultimate surprise cameo?

But before everyone hits the theatre imagining Hashmi in action, here’s the tea: the screenshot is fake. Yes, fans, the image doing the rounds is an edited version of the Letterboxd page.
On the real, live page for ‘Dhurandhar 2’, Emraan’s name is nowhere to be seen.
Letterboxd is popular for its accurate film data, so unless the makers are planning a jaw-dropping secret reveal, Hashmi is not officially part of the film.
Yami Gautam very much a part of ‘Dhurandhar 2’
While Emraan fans may feel a twinge of disappointment, there’s a silver lining. Yami Gautam, Emraan’s ‘Haq’ co-star, is reported to have a key cameo in the sequel.
Media reports confirm she will appear in her husband Aditya Dhar’s directorial. Letterboxd’s official cast list also mentions her.
Official cast still stays focused
Despite all the chatter, the makers of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ haven’t revealed any new cast members beyond the core team. Industry updates and promotional materials continue to spotlight Ranveer Singh and other already-announced stars.
So, while fans scroll endlessly for leaks and “exclusive” screenshots, the actual confirmed cast remains largely under wraps.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ has big shoes to fill. The first film broke records when it released in December last year, earning over ₹1300 crores worldwide, making it one of India’s highest-grossing films ever.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ release date
Mark your calendars: ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is ready to hit theaters on March 19. Whether you’re here for Ranveer Singh’s intense spy moves, Yami Gautam’s special cameo, or the possibility of surprise twists, the buzz is only going to grow as release day nears.
So, while Emraan Hashmi fans will have to curb their excitement (for now), the sequel still promises a blockbuster ride.
