Director Aditya Dhar has officially commenced work on the trailer cut for Dhurandhar 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2025 blockbuster. The film, starring Ranveer Singh, is slated for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, and the beginning of trailer editing signals that post-production is progressing as scheduled. The makers are aiming to release the first official promo by the end of February as part of the film's marketing strategy. An insider revealed that Aditya Dhar is focused on delivering something impactful with the trailer, and Shashwat Sachdev has simultaneously begun work on the film's background score, with both sound and visuals being given top priority.

Amidst the excitement for Dhurandhar 2, reports had circulated about Akshaye Khanna potentially filming additional scenes for the sequel. However, sources have clarified that Khanna will not be shooting any new scenes. Despite his character, Rehman Dakait, meeting his end in the first film, Khanna will still appear in Dhurandhar 2 through flashback sequences. These scenes, shot during the initial schedules, are integral to the story's continuity, and there are no plans for reshoots or supplementary filming involving the actor.

Akshaye Khanna's performance as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar was widely praised by critics and audiences, with many hailing it as one of the strongest antagonistic performances in recent Hindi cinema. His portrayal played a crucial role in elevating the film's dramatic tension. While his character's death in Dhurandhar seemed to close the door on his role, the decision to include him in flashback scenes in Dhurandhar 2 has been seen as a major creative decision. These flashbacks will reportedly explore his backstory and influence, further expanding the character's arc.

Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, became a historic blockbuster at the Indian box office, rewriting records and earning widespread critical acclaim. The film also stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi. Dhurandhar 2 is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar under Jio Studios and B62 Studios.

With Dhurandhar 2 shaping up behind the scenes, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are setting the stage for one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. The commencement of trailer work marks a crucial step in the final leg of the film's journey to the big screen.
