Fans eagerly awaiting Akshaye Khanna's return in 'Dhurandhar 2' might need to temper their expectations. New reports reveal his role will be much smaller than anticipated.
Limited Screen Time for Popular Actor
Following the blockbuster success of 'Dhurandhar' Part 1, Akshaye Khanna was confirmed to reprise his acclaimed character, Rehman Dakait. His performance had garnered both massive popularity and critical praise.
However, recent developments indicate he is not currently involved in any new shooting schedules for the sequel. While the actor remains firmly cast in the project, his on-screen presence will be brief.
Flashback Scenes Already Completed
According to industry sources, Khanna's appearance in 'Dhurandhar 2' will be restricted to just a couple of flashback sequences. These scenes were filmed during the movie's initial production phases.
No additional filming with the actor is happening at this moment. His portions were wrapped up earlier and will serve as key narrative moments in the film's storyline.
Post-Production in Full Swing
Meanwhile, work on the second part has entered a crucial post-production stage. Director Aditya Dhar is currently focused on editing the film's trailer.
The creative team aims to deliver another impactful preview. They are targeting a trailer release by the end of February, with Dhar personally overseeing the final cut.
Sound and Visuals Take Priority
Composer Shashwat Sachdev has simultaneously begun crafting the film's background score. Both the auditory and visual elements are receiving top priority as the project nears completion.
The entire team is gearing up for the cinematic release of 'Dhurandhar 2,' scheduled to hit theaters on March 19.
Sequel Builds Momentum for 2026
'Dhurandhar 2' is gaining significant momentum in its final preparations. Jio Studios and B62 Studios are positioning it as a major blockbuster for the 2026 season.
The project comes from producers Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar. The first installment featured an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Rakesh Bedi.
Part one premiered in cinemas on December 5, 2025, setting high expectations for its successor.
