A summer sequel on the way
Actor Ranveer Singh is gearing up to expand Dhurandhar, which, the buzz is, will mark the start of a full-fledged franchise. We have learnt that the makers have finalised a two-part rollout: Dhurandhar Part 1 arrives in cinemas on December 5, followed by Part 2 in summer 2026. Industry insiders say the ambitious scale made a split “the most practical narrative path,” noting that the world-building naturally leads into a second chapter. The first film’s cut is reportedly locked at
nearly three hours, while Part 2 is in pre-production. The Aditya Dhar-directored stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.
