Countdown clocks for Ranveer Singh's next high-octane sequel, Dhurandhar 2, have officially begun. The star posted a vague but clear hint on Monday evening's Instagram story, indicating that a big reveal is set for 12:12 PM on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
What is the significance of the "12:12" motif for Dhurandhar?
With a minimalist aesthetic that showcases strong black backgrounds and bold red and white writing, the Instagram story merely reads: "TOMORROW 12:12". Time and the "12:12" motif have become associated with the Dhurandhar franchise. On Singh's 40th birthday in 2025, at precisely 12:12 PM, the original film's first look was also revealed, as fans will recall.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel after the first instalment's historic success at the box office. Under Aditya Dhar's direction, Dhurandhar quickly became one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever, with worldwide earnings surpassing ₹1000 crore shortly after its December release.
Why is Dhurandhar 2 releasing so quickly?
The film's technical excellence and grim realism earned high praise for its exploration of the South Asian geopolitical scene. To guarantee a quick theatrical turnaround, production of the sequel—rumoured to be called Dhurandhar: The Revenge—was essentially done in tandem with the first part.
As per reports, tomorrow's teaser will reveal the sequel's changing power dynamics for the first time. Part two is anticipated to explore Singh's character, Hamza Ali Mazari, further into his past as Jaskirat Singh Rangi and his showdown with the mysterious puppet master referred to as "Bade Saab", while part one focused on his character's infiltration of a Karachi crime syndicate.
Who is returning for the star-studded ensemble cast of Dhurandhar?
The sequel's ensemble cast is still among the most intimidating of recent times. Singh plays Hamza, the deadly covert agent. Arjun Rampal portrays Major Iqbal as the main antagonist. Sanjay Dutt plays the character of SP Chaudhary Aslam. Akshaye Khanna is anticipated to make a crucial cameo as Rehman Dakait, and R. Madhavan will be back as intelligence strategist Ajay Sanyal.
The makers have set the release date for March 19, 2026, which will fall on the same weekend as the Eid and Gudi Padwa festivals. The stage is now set for a huge clash at the box office with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, the highly anticipated film starring Kannada star Yash.
Will Ranveer Singh back into his "beast mode" for Dhurandhar 2?
There will likely be a shift into "beast mode" (a word Singh often uses to describe his physical metamorphosis for this role) in the marketing machinery for Dhurandhar 2 with tomorrow's teaser release.
