Following the record-breaking success of the high-octane espionage thriller Dhurandhar, the makers have officially announced that its highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar 2, will expand its horizons with a massive Pan-India rollout. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the industry, the film is slated to release simultaneously in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam on March 19, 2026.
The decision comes on the heels of an unprecedented box office run for the first installment. Despite being a Hindi-only release, Dhurandhar—starring Ranveer Singh and directed by National Award winner Aditya Dhar—became a cultural phenomenon in South India. Driven by intense social media buzz and glowing word-of-mouth, the film saw packed houses in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, leading to a relentless demand from fans for regional dubbed versions.
The announcement, confirmed by trade analysts and the production houses Jio Studios and B62 Studios, marks a strategic shift for the franchise. While the first film focused on the Hindi market, the sequel aims to be a “Day 1” event for all of India.
“The storm is set to return. This time, everywhere,” noted trade analyst Taran Adarsh, highlighting that the March 19 release date is no coincidence. The film will capitalize on a major festive weekend, coinciding with Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi, ensuring a massive turnout across various cultural belts. “When one film speaks five languages, it’s not chasing markets—it’s claiming them.” — Industry Insider
Dhurandhar 2 is currently in the post-production stage and promises to pick up exactly where the first film’s gripping cliffhanger left off. The original story followed a 10-year Indian spy mission known as “Project Dhurandhar,” featuring a covert operative (Ranveer Singh) infiltrating the dark nexus of crime and politics in Karachi.
The sequel is expected to raise the stakes significantly. According to early reports, the narrative will dive deeper into international espionage, political intrigue, and the personal cost of being a ghost in the system.
Ranveer Singh returns as the lead, facing off against Akshaye Khanna. The supporting cast remains one of the most powerful in recent memory, featuring Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.
The March 2026 release sets up one of the biggest box office face-offs in recent years. Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled to release alongside Yash’s Toxic, creating a “clash of the titans” scenario at the Indian box office. However, with its multi-language strategy and the momentum of the first film—which is nearing the ₹1,000 crore mark globally—analysts believe there is enough room for both films to thrive.
