Anil Kapoor confirms he rejected Dhurandhar 2

Anil Kapoor confirmed that he was offered a cameo in Dhurandhar 2, but had to turn down the role because he was already busy with another project. “Yes, Aditya came to me for Dhurandhar 2,” Kapoor shared. He then stated that in order to be professional and to honour his commitment (dates clashing with another filmmaker’s project), the actor had to turn down a big offer like Dhurandhar: The Revenge. “I told Aditya, ‘I would have loved to do this cameo, but I’m already committed.’ He is releasing the film now, and it’s a fantastic film. It’s my loss, but it’s okay,” he said, while still remaining hopeful that he gets to work with Aditya Dhar at some point of time.
