The trailer for the highly anticipated spy thriller "Dhurandhar," starring Ranveer Singh, was finally unveiled on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, amidst much fanfare. The launch event, held at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai, was attended by the film's stellar cast, including R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Akshaye Khanna, adding significant star power to the event.
Directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, "Dhurandhar" promises to be an action-packed, intense thriller inspired by true events, focusing on cross-border intelligence operations and the sacrifices made by intelligence officers. The film boasts a powerful ensemble cast, with Sanjay Dutt and Sara Arjun, who is making her Bollywood debut as a grown-up actress, also playing pivotal roles.
The trailer opens with Arjun Rampal, portraying Major Iqbal, a member of the ISI, delivering a chilling twist to former Pakistan President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq's infamous line, "Bleed India with a thousand cuts". The narrative quickly introduces the key players, with R. Madhavan's character, Ajay Sanyal, an Indian intelligence officer known as the "Charioteer of Karma," emphasizing the need for Pakistan to face consequences for supporting terrorism. Akshaye Khanna appears as Rehman Dakait, the "Apex Predator," followed by Sanjay Dutt as SP Chaudhary Aslam, fearfully nicknamed "The Jinn". Finally, Ranveer Singh is introduced as the "Wrath of God," completing the ensemble with a punch of intensity.
Ranveer Singh's rugged avatar, sporting long hair and a beard, has already generated considerable buzz, with many fans drawing comparisons to his iconic Khilji era. The trailer showcases intense action sequences and dramatic confrontations, highlighting the film's high-octane energy. The film is slated to release on December 5, 2025.
The trailer combines tense moments with pulsating Punjabi music, adding to the film's mass appeal. "Dhurandhar" is produced under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios, with Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar serving as co-producers.
At the trailer launch, Arjun Rampal and other co-stars lauded Ranveer Singh for his dedication to the role. R Madhavan jokingly referred to the film as his "biggest paycheck" yet. Ranveer Singh had previously stated that "Dhurandhar" aims to be on par with global standards of feature filmmaking, emphasizing the intention to create a film that Indians can be proud of. He described the film as raw, gritty, and unapologetically Indian.
The trailer launch was initially scheduled for the previous week but was postponed out of respect for veteran actor Dharmendra's health and following the Delhi bomb blast.
"Dhurandhar" appears to be a revenge-driven plot rooted in India-Pakistan tensions, with Ranveer Singh playing an Indian spy on a mission in Pakistan. The film promises to be a visual spectacle with larger-than-life visuals and high-octane sequences.
