“Saw this incredible film called #DhurandharTheRevenge!!! What a ride! It just blew my mind and I can’t stop thinking about it,” Nagarjuna wrote. “This is one of those films that inspires and changes filmmaking!!”

A Technical Masterpiece
The “King” of Tollywood specifically highlighted the technical prowess behind the film. Directed by Aditya Dhar—the visionary behind Uri: The Surgical Strike—the sequel has been noted for its massive scale and gritty realism. Nagarjuna extended his “heartiest congratulations” not just to Dhar, but to the entire technical crew, specifically mentioning the cinematography, music, sound design, action, and art departments.

Interestingly, Nagarjuna’s connection to the film isn’t just as a spectator. He revealed that his own Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad played a pivotal role in the film’s post-production, handling the Dolby Cinema processing and the localization for South Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada).

“So proud to say Annapurna Studios has worked on the Dolby Cinema format for the film and its South Indian language versions,” he added, highlighting the growing collaboration between the North and South film industries.

The ‘Dhurandhar’ Phenomenon
Released on March 19, 2026, Dhurandhar: The Revenge serves as a high-stakes sequel to the 2025 blockbuster. The plot follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi (played by Ranveer Singh), an Indian spy who infiltrates Pakistan under the alias Hamza to dismantle terror networks linked to the 26/11 attacks.

Key Highlights of the Film:
Lead Performance: Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of ‘Hamza’ is being hailed by critics as a career-best.
Ensemble Cast: The film features heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the latter of whom plays the chilling antagonist, Major Iqbal.
Box Office Power: In just four days, the film has neared the ₹750 crore mark worldwide, positioning it to potentially surpass its predecessor’s lifetime collection of over ₹1,300 crore.

Celebrity Endorsements Pour In
Nagarjuna joins a growing list of A-list stars who have publicly championed the film. Other South Indian icons including Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan, Allu Arjun, and SS Rajamouli have also praised the movie for its “soul and scale.”

Bollywood stars like Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have similarly expressed their admiration, with Bhatt calling the synergy between the director and actor “magic.”
While the film has faced some discussions regarding its nearly four-hour runtime and intense “jingoistic” undertones, the overwhelming consensus among the industry’s elite—led by Nagarjuna—is that Dhurandhar 2 has set a new benchmark for the action-thriller genre in India.

As the film continues its historic run, Nagarjuna’s endorsement serves as a testament to the film’s cross-regional appeal, proving that high-quality storytelling and technical brilliance can truly unite the Indian film landscape. To
