Director Aditya Dhar, known for the blockbuster "URI: The Surgical Strike," is collaborating with Ranveer Singh for a new spy thriller titled "Dhurandhar". The film is based on real events from India's intelligence history.
According to reports, Aditya Dhar had planned a special surprise for Ranveer Singh, a suspenseful teaser showcasing the scale and energy of "Dhurandhar". This teaser was intended to be a birthday gift for both Ranveer and his fans, offering a first glimpse into the world of spies and covert missions depicted in the film. The teaser promises a cinematic experience filled with intensity, espionage, and high-octane drama.
However, Ranveer Singh, known for his energetic and spontaneous nature, might have inadvertently disrupted these plans. While details of the disruption are not specified in the search results, it appears that his actions somehow interfered with the intended surprise.
"Dhurandhar" boasts an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, all in robust, well-developed roles. The film's story unfolds across multiple time zones, primarily in the politically charged 1970s and 1980s in a neighboring country. Present-day locations are also part of the film, but details are being kept under wraps to maintain suspense.
The movie is reportedly 75% complete, with the team aiming to finish shooting by September 2025. A theatrical release is planned between January and March 2026. Following "Dhurandhar," Ranveer Singh is scheduled to begin working on "Don 3" with Farhan Akhtar in October 2025, followed by a zombie-action movie with Jai Mehta in late 2026.
In other news, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh's wife, is expected to give birth to their first child around September 28, 2024, which coincides with Ranbir Kapoor's birthday. Deepika is currently on maternity leave and plans to resume filming for "Kalki 2898 AD" and "The Intern" remake after March 2025.
In 2023, there were reports that Ranveer Singh would be announced as the new "Don" in Farhan Akhtar's franchise on his birthday, replacing Shah Rukh Khan.
