Dhurandhar: The Revenge is gearing up for its theatrical release on March 19, 2026. The makers already unveiled the teaser, which faced backlash as it is the same climax scenes as part 1. Amid this, a report claimed that Yami Gautam is all set to be seen in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
What role will Yami Gautam play in Dhurandhar: The Revenge?
Pinkvilla reported that Yami Gautam will be seen in a special cameo in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The source shared, “Yami’s role is action-packed and extremely crucial to the narrative. She has already shot for nearly 5 days, and though it’s a cameo, it’s an important part that will leave the audience amazed.”
Yami is one of the most versatile actors in the industry. She recently earned praise for her role in Haq. She really raised the bar with some unforgettable performances. From the blind woman fighting for justice in Kaabil or the intelligence officer in Uri: The Surgical Strike, the actress proved why she is one of a kind.
Her gripping performances in A Thursday, Dasvi, Article 370, and Bala cemented her status as a powerhouse. Now, it is time to see what exact role Yami is set to play in Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
Vicky Kaushal to reprise Uri: The Surgical Strike role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge?
Mid-Day reported that Vicky Kaushal is likely to return to his role as Major Vihaan Singh Shergill from the 2019 hit Uri: The Surgical Strike, instead of introducing a new character.
The source shared that Aditya has been tight-lipped about the star power he is adding to Dhurandhar 2. The director, who plans to build the Dhurandhar universe, has smartly woven in a track from Uri despite the difference in the two stories’ timelines.
"Vicky’s character from the war drama, which is set in 2016, is introduced in this film, although it remains unclear whether he and Ranveer’s character cross paths. The cameo includes a few action blocks," it added.
What to expect from Dhurandhar: The Revenge?
Based on the initial, highly successful 2025 release, Dhurandhar: The Revenge (scheduled for March 19, 2026) is expected to be a dark, action-heavy, and faster-paced sequel that shifts from the "undercover" nature of the first film to a direct, vengeful, and high-stakes confrontation.
The sequel will shift focus to the true identity of Ranveer Singh's character, exploring his backstory as an Indian operative named Jaskirat Singh Rangi. Following the death of Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna) in the first film, this instalment is expected to follow Hamza/Jaskirat’s mission to hunt down the masterminds, specifically Bade Sahab.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge will focus on a more active, vengeful performance rather than the restrained, observational approach in the first movie. R. Madhavan (Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Ajay Sanyal) is expected to have a much more prominent role, focusing on his training of Hamza in advanced warfare.
