While Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate the box office, there is chatter about what lies ahead for the high-octane franchise. Social media has been buzzing with speculation about a possible third instalment of the Aditya Dhar directorial. Amid the frenzy, casting director Mukesh Chhabra has reacted to the rumours.
The sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, hit theatres on March 19. Soon after, rumours of part 3 started doing the rounds. Now, in an interview with Zoom, the film's casting director, Mukesh Chhabra, has broken his silence and set the record straight.
The casting director responded to the rumours saying, "Aisa kuch nahi hone wala. Bahut sare rumours hai (Nothing like that is going to happen. There are a lot of rumours)." The casting director further added that if there is a rumour that needs to be addressed, he would address it on the social media platform, X (Twitter).
A day before Dhurandhar: The Revenge released on March 19, director Aditya Dhar shared a note for fans, asking the audience to stay through the credits. In his Instagram post, he wrote, "Don't leave your seats until the credits have stopped rolling." This led to speculation about the announcement of Part 3 hidden in the credits.
Notably, soon after its release, an unverified clip emerged online claiming to be the end-credit slate hinting at Dhurandhar Part 3: The Mayhem. The clip even suggested that the third part will be released in June. While the clip has been identified as fake, it sparked enough excitement among fans. Many even treated it as confirmation of a third instalment.
However, the end credits of Dhurandhar: The Revenge did not make any such announcement regarding a third film. Instead, the end credits simply extend the story and leave some points of the plot open.
While the fake screenshot and the speculations kept fans confused and awaiting an official word on the future of the Dhurandhar franchise, Mukesh Chhabra's statement puts an end to current rumours about Dhurandhar 3.
