The makers of Ranveer Singh's action-thriller Dhurandhar have officially confirmed that Part 2 will release in theatres on March 19, 2026. The announcement appeared in the post-credit sequence of the first film, which premiered on December 5, 2025.
The makers of Dhurandhar, the Ranveer Singh-led action-thriller that released in theatres on December 5, 2025, have officially confirmed the release date for its sequel. The second instalment, titled Dhurandhar 2, will hit theatres on March 19, 2026, just three months after Part 1. The announcement was revealed through a post-credit teaser attached to the first film.
The swift turnaround confirms director Aditya Dhar's earlier statement that Dhurandhar was conceived as a two-part cinematic saga. With Part 2 now locked, the intense spy-thriller narrative is expected to reach its conclusion in the upcoming sequel.
Moviegoers were taken by surprise when the end credits of Dhurandhar flashed the confirmed release date of its second part. While fans anticipated that a short glimpse or a title reveal might be shown, the makers went a step further by showcasing an early tease of Part 2's storyline.
The sequel will continue Ranveer Singh's journey as the Indian operative battling extremist forces across the border. With Part 1 establishing a high-stakes conflict set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the second instalment promises a climactic finish to the espionage thriller.
The chosen release date sets up one of the biggest box-office clashes of 2026. Yash's highly anticipated pan-India film Toxic, his first major project after the blockbuster KGF franchise, is also slated to release on March 19, 2026.
Given Yash's massive fan following and Toxic's expected dominance in the Hindi belt, exhibitors may face challenges allocating screens between these two high-voltage action films. The clash is already generating industry-level discussion regarding distribution strategy and potential box-office impact.
Just like the first instalment, Dhurandhar 2 will feature an ensemble cast including:
The first film's trailer had introduced audiences to the central characters:
These characters are expected to return in the sequel as the story moves into its final phase.
Upon release, Dhurandhar exceeded trade expectations by collecting ₹27 crore nett in India on Day 1, marking the highest opening of Ranveer Singh's career, surpassing Simmba and Padmaavat.
While critical reviews have been mixed, performances by Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, along with Shashwat Sachdev's atmospheric background score, have been widely appreciated.
With the narrative set in Pakistan and centred on cross-border espionage, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to:
Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the sequel will aim to match or surpass the scale, intensity, and performances of the first chapter.
