Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar’s sequel has emerged as one of the most anticipated films of the year, especially after the unprecedented box office storm created by the first instalment, which shattered multiple records. Dhurandhar 2 is set to clash with Yash’s Toxic at the box office, and despite earlier speculation, director Aditya Dhar appears to be in no mood to revise the film’s release date.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Dhurandhar 2 is locked for a March 19 release and will not be postponed under any circumstances. The publication quoted a source close to Aditya Dhar, who firmly dismissed rumours surrounding a delay.
“It is a hundred per cent on. The date March 19 is final and irrevocable. The false stories doing the rounds about the postponement are the desperate elements to play our film down. People were spreading such rumours before the release of the first part also,” the source said.
Released in December 2025, Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar turned out to be a critical and commercial juggernaut. The film went on to break several box office records and emerged as the biggest movie of 2025.
As per trade tracking website, the film has amassed a staggering worldwide gross of Rs 1283.5 crore till Day 45. Out of this, the India collection stands at Rs 989.9 crore, while overseas markets contributed Rs 293.6 crore.
Meanwhile, reports have also suggested that Vicky Kaushal may be seen in an extended cameo in the sequel. However, speculation linking his character from Uri: The Surgical Strike to Dhurandhar 2 has been rubbished.

An insider source refuted these claims, clarifying that neither the Uri character nor the film itself is connected to the Dhurandhar universe, even though Vicky Kaushal is expected to make an appearance.
The first instalment of Dhurandhar featured an ensemble cast comprising Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun, all of whom played pivotal roles in the film’s massive success.
