Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is one of the most anticipated films of the year and is set to hit theatres in less than a month. The film stars Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy in Pakistan and takes the narrative forward after the events of Dhurandhar. While actors like R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjuna, and Sanjay Dutt are returning for the sequel, some new names are also expected to join the cast. Yami Gautam’s cameo has been confirmed, and now there are strong rumours of Emraan Hashmi playing a character who was only mentioned in the first part.

Emraan Hashmi joins Dhurandhar 2?


In the first film, a villain named Bade Sahab created a sense of mystery. It has been speculated that Bade Sahab could be a reference to figures such as Dawood Ibrahim or Masood Azhar. Amid the intrigue surrounding the character, social networking platform Letterboxd may have accidentally revealed who plays the role.



The Dhurandhar 2 page on Letterboxd features a detailed cast list. Among them is Raj Zutshi, who is rumoured to play a Pakistani general, along with Yami Gautam in a cameo appearance. The list also mentions Emraan Hashmi, who is rumoured to portray Bade Sahab in the film.

Ranbir Kapoor calls Dhurandhar his favourite film

During a recent Instagram live session, when Ranbir was asked about his current favourite song, the actor said, "My current favourite song... I am still listening to all the amazing tracks from Dhurandhar. That's right up there," Ranbir said, further mentioning music sensation Talwiinder.

The actor also went on to call Dhurandhar his current favourite movie. "My current favourite movie is Dhurandhar. I think the entire cast and crew really smashed it... Really good times at the movies," he added.

More About Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar also stars R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal. Serving as the first instalment of a two-part film series, it centres on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation.

The film follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi’s criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an attempt to dismantle a terror network targeting India. The storyline draws loose inspiration from several real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia, including the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and developments linked to Pakistan’s Operation Lyari.
