Moviegoers who stepped into theatres to watch Border 2 were in for an unexpected surprise. Instead of the much-anticipated teaser of Dhurandhar 2, cinemas showcased the trailer of Assi, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming film starring Taapsee Pannu. The switch sparked confusion and chatter among fans, especially those who had expected Border 2 to serve as the launch platform for the sequel’s teaser.

Putting all speculation to rest, Dhurandhar 2 director Aditya Dhar clarified that the teaser was never meant to be attached to Border 2. Taking to social media, Dhar confirmed that the teaser for the film will be released separately and will arrive in the coming days. While he did not reveal an exact date, his message reassured fans that the promotional rollout for the film is very much on track.



All about Assi starring Taapsee Pannu

The clarification came after several reports suggested that Dhurandhar 2’s teaser would debut alongside Border 2, prompting fans to flock to theatres with high expectations. Instead, audiences were shown the trailer of Assi, a political drama directed by Anubhav Sinha, marking his collaboration with Taapsee Pannu. The trailer’s placement indicates a strategic promotional move for Assi, which is gearing up for its own release.

Border 2, which hit cinemas on January 23, 2026, boasts a large ensemble cast and carries forward the legacy of the iconic war film franchise. Given its scale and reach, it was widely believed that the film would be used as a launchpad for other big projects, including Dhurandhar 2.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2, officially titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, remains one of the most awaited action films of the year. Starring Ranveer Singh, the sequel follows the success of the first film and is slated for a March 19, 2026 release. With the teaser set to drop independently, the makers appear keen on giving the film its own moment rather than tying it to another release.

For now, fans will have to wait a little longer, but the confirmation has ensured that anticipation around Dhurandhar 2 continues to build steadily for fans.
