From Ranveer Singh's Hamza to R Madhavan's Ajay Sanyal: Characters to tentatively return in Dhurandhar 2
As Dhurandhar continues to make waves globally, fans are eagerly awaiting Dhurandhar 2, slated for release in March 2026. Ahead of the sequel, here’s a look at the key characters from the first film—starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan—who are likely to return in the next installment.
Ranveer Singh – Ranveer starred as the central protagonist, Hamza Ali Mazari, delivering a powerhouse performance with both action and emotional depth. He is confirmed to return in Dhurandhar 2, likely with his character facing even higher stakes and a more personal journey.
Akshaye Khanna – Akshaye’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait, a menacing antagonist, was one of the highlights of Dhurandhar. Given the open-ended nature of his character, fans are speculating a return in Dhurandhar 2, either through flashbacks, unresolved vendettas, or a continuation of his criminal empire storyline.
R Madhavan- He is also likely to return as IB Chief Ajay Sanyal IN Dhurandhar 2 and is expected to show how he recruited Jaskirat Singh Rangi (Ranveer's character) from death row and made him a spy who infiltrated Pakistan.
Sanjay Dutt – Sanjay Dutt played a major role as SP Chaudhary Aslam as a mentor or influential figure connected to either the criminal underworld or law enforcement. His return in the second part is anticipated, potentially as a guiding force for Ranveer Singh’s character or as a bridge between the two worlds.
Sara Arjun – Sara plays a young, pivotal character as Yalina Jamali whose arc ties into the main plot involving family stakes and emotional depth. Her performance was praised for maturity beyond her years. In Dhurandhar 2, she is expected to return as Hamza's love interest and likely to continue her storyline as the younger member of the central family drama, possibly with a more action-driven role.
Gaurav Gera – Known for his comic timing, Gaurav played a lighter, yet important role in Dhurandhar, balancing the film’s intense moments with humor. His return in the second part is expected to bring similar levity, perhaps as a more strategically involved character as Mohammad Aalam.
Danish Pandor– Danish’s character added key emotional or narrative tension to the first film. While not much is officially revealed, he is expected to reappear in the sequel, likely influencing the main storyline indirectly.
