Rumors are circulating about filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s extended 7.5-hour director’s cut of “Dhurandhar,” featuring Ranveer Singh, possibly hitting theaters on April 5. The revised version reportedly merges the duology ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge,’ as indicated by a CBFC certificate dated March 31, 2026. Despite these claims, the filmmakers have remained silent, leaving the authenticity of this information uncertain.
The star-studded cast of “Dhurandhar” includes Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film is set to be presented in premium formats like IMAX and Dolby Cinema, with selected theaters scheduling two screenings per weekend. Initially conceived as a single movie, the project was split into two parts for its theatrical release due to its extensive duration. The director’s cut aims to seamlessly reunite the storyline, providing viewers with a more immersive 450-minute experience.
The upcoming screenings are expected to include three intervals, English subtitles, and technical improvements like enhanced audio clarity. Notably, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” has been a massive success, amassing a remarkable Rs. 1,365 crore globally since its debut on March 19. Jio Studios shared a tweet detailing the film’s impressive earnings, with Rs. 867 crore collected in India NBOC alone. The movie’s global earnings stand at a staggering Rs. 1,365 crore, with Rs. 1,023 crore generated domestically and Rs. 342 crore from international markets.
The first installment of the duology, released on December 5, 2025, was also a commercial triumph, surpassing Rs. 1,000 crore worldwide within three weeks. The initial film revolves around a high-stakes covert anti-terrorism mission, following an Indian intelligence agent infiltrating criminal networks in Karachi to thwart a terror plot against India. Meanwhile, “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” continues the story, with the agent seeking vengeance for the 26/11 attacks while confronting larger threats.
