Ranveer Singh Returns as Hamza: Dhurandhar 2 Gets Explosive New Title and First Look

New Delhi, February 3, 2026: The wait is finally over for fans of the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar. On Tuesday morning, Ranveer Singh took to social media to ignite the internet, officially unveiling the first look and the high-octane new title for the sequel: Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

The announcement marks a massive shift in tone for the franchise, promising a sequel that is darker, grittier, and far more personal.

The “Bloody” First Look

The newly released poster is nothing short of menacing. Bathed in a deep, ominous red light, the image features Ranveer Singh as Hamza (aka Jaskirat), standing in a torrential downpour. His fists are clenched, and his gaze is fixed directly on the camera with a piercing, raw intensity.

The aesthetic suggests that Hamza, the Indian spy who infiltrated Karachi’s underworld in the first film, is no longer just on a mission—he’s on a warpath. Behind him, the words “THE REVENGE” are etched into a blood-red wall, signaling that the stakes have escalated from national security to a personal vendetta.

“Ab Bigadne Ka Waqt Aa Gaya Hai”

Ranveer shared the poster across multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, underscoring the film’s pan-India ambitions. His cryptic yet fiery caption, “Ab Bigadne Ka Waqt Aa Gaya Hai” (It’s time to go bad), has sent fans into a frenzy. It hints that Hamza will shed his tactical restraint to go all-out against the Baloch gangs and ISI operatives in this installment.

Key Highlights of the Announcement:

• Official Title: Dhurandhar: The Revenge
• Teaser Release: Today at 12:12 PM
• Theatrical Release Date: March 19, 2026
• Director: Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike)

A Surprising Return?

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a major detail in the announcement: Ranveer tagged Akshaye Khanna in the cast list. This has sparked intense speculation, as Khanna’s character, the antagonist Rehman Dakait, was killed in the climax of the first film. Industry insiders suggest he may return through pivotal flashback sequences that delve into Hamza’s mysterious backstory.

The film also sees the return of the powerhouse ensemble from the first part, including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, the latter of whom is rumored to take on a more central antagonistic role this time around.

The Road to March 19

Dhurandhar smashed box office records in late 2025, grossing over ₹1,300 crore globally and becoming a streaming phenomenon on Netflix. With the sequel arriving on March 19, 2026, it is set for one of the biggest box office clashes of the year against Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups.

If the first look is any indication, Aditya Dhar is cooking up a cinematic spectacle that isn’t just a sequel, but the definitive second half of a massive seven-hour spy saga.
