The official release time for the much-anticipated trailer for the Aditya Dhar–directed espionage action thriller Dhurandhar—which features Ranveer Singh—is 12:12 PM Indian Standard Time today, November 18, 2025. The makers have officially announced the new date and hour after a short delay in the launch of the campaign. The film, which will make its theatrical premiere on December 5, 2025, is anticipated to offer the first thorough glimpse at its high-stakes storyline with the release of the trailer.

Reason behind trailer launch postponement

Although the makers originally planned to release the trailer on November 12, they postponed the debut. A tragic occurrence near Delhi’s Red Fort forced a temporary halt to large-scale promotional events; thus, the postponement was considered a mark of respect and solidarity. The actors and crew were able to keep their attention on the film's substantial story while still taking into consideration the circumstances surrounding the original date of November 18 when they decided to reschedule the event. This step made sure that the trailer's debut could go ahead as scheduled without dampening the launch event's intended grandeur.

After his critically acclaimed hit Uri: The Surgical Strike action fans are eagerly anticipating filmmaker Dhar's Dhurandhar. According to reports, Singh plays the principal character of an R&AW agent in the film, which is based on real events. Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal round out the ensemble cast. With the release of separate character posters and the dramatic naming of each lead, the directors have generated a great deal of expectation. Cast members Dutt ("The Jinn"), Rampal ("The Angel of Death"), and Madhavan ("The Charioteer of Karma") have recently been introduced, with Khanna joining them as "The Apex Predator" in a storyline based around a complicated showdown between powerful forces.

Film's lengthy runtime

Not only has the trailer's original release date been pushed back, but the film's lengthy running time has also been a hot topic. According to industry reports that cite people close to the production, Dhurandhar is expected to be one of Singh's longest films to date. At this very moment, the estimated running duration is hovering around three hours and fifty minutes. Dhar's ambition to showcase the film's intricate plot in its entirety, without compromising the intensity of the espionage and action scenes, led to the ambitious running time.

The producers are reportedly considering releasing the story as a two-part tale due to the substantial runtime. Part 1 is still set to premiere on December 5, 2025, but a two-part format would allow for more exploration of the characters and world-building, with the first part possibly ending on a major cliffhanger and the second part following the following year.

Anticipated trailer launch event

Attendees at the gala event for the trailer launch in Mumbai are likely to include Singh, Sanjay, Madhavan, Khanna, and Rampal, and members of the creative team, including director-producer Dhar. Officially, the trailer for Dhurandhar will premiere on the JioStudios YouTube account right after the launch, and the general public will be able to see it online shortly after. The trailer will be widely distributed to fans who have been following the creation of this huge spy thriller, building anticipation since the film's announcement. The makers will present the trailer today at 12:12 PM, setting the stage for the film's theatrical launch on December 5, 2025.
