Newcomer Vikramm Bhambri Predicts Dhurandhar Sequel Will Make Cinematic History
As the global box office prepares for the highly anticipated release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, newcomer actor Vikramm Bhambri has joined the growing wave of acclaim for visionary director Aditya Dhar. Speaking exclusively at the prestigious News18 Showsha Reel Awards 2026 ceremony held in Mumbai on March 18, Bhambri made a bold declaration that the Ranveer Singh-led period drama is destined to "create history" across international markets when it premieres worldwide on March 19.
Bhambri Credits Franchise for Career Transformation
The rising star, who openly credits the Dhurandhar franchise for catapulting him from "audition rooms to the silver screen," emphasized director Aditya Dhar's extraordinary attention to cultural authenticity and linguistic precision. "As a newcomer in this industry, having seen how Aditya Sir has taken the minutest things into consideration—right from the culture, the language, the looks, people, and place—I am simply awestruck with the attention to detail in his work," Bhambri stated passionately during the awards event.
He elaborated further, expressing unwavering confidence in the sequel's potential: "I'm a true believer that Dhurandhar 2 will create history across the globe. Dhurandhar 2 will be the ghatak period." This statement underscores the film's expected impact on the historical drama genre.
Praise for Aditya Dhar's Directorial Vision and Collaborative Style
Vikramm Bhambri also heaped substantial praise on Aditya Dhar, describing him as a true visionary with a unique, actor-friendly approach to filmmaking. "If an actor wants to play his or her character in a certain way, he gives room to the actor to play. He is aware of what he wants in the scene and yet allows actors to add some flavor to it, if it matches the scene. That's really one of many remarkable characteristics of Aditya Sir as a director," Bhambri explained, highlighting Dhar's balanced methodology.
This sentiment was echoed by veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, who also attended the event and commended Dhar's professional demeanor. "He's a great guy, very gentlemanly, very sensible, very sensitive, and extremely understandable," Bedi remarked, adding to the chorus of admiration for the director's personality and work ethic.
The Franchise's Role in Bhambri's Career Ascent
Reflecting on his personal journey, Vikramm Bhambri credited the Dhurandhar franchise for fundamentally transforming his career trajectory. "It has taken an ordinary guy from the audition room to the silver screen," he admitted, noting the film's crucial role in establishing his presence within the competitive film industry.
He further elaborated on the professional credibility the project has afforded him: "In the industry, this movie has given me a 'stamp of approval' that usually takes years to build. I'm humbled and grateful to the Higher Power, the blessings and wishes of my family and friends. With Dhurandhar as a strong foundation, I am looking forward to upcoming opportunities to demonstrate my craft and deliver even more impactful performances," Bhambri concluded optimistically.
Anticipation Builds as Plot Details Remain Under Wraps
Despite mounting excitement and speculation, the production team behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge has maintained strict secrecy regarding the sequel's storyline. Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi addressed this directly during the same awards function. When pressed for plot details, Bedi offered a succinct response: "It's coming on 19th March, that's all," effectively heightening audience curiosity.
With powerhouse performer Ranveer Singh leading the ensemble cast, expectations are naturally soaring. The sequel, scheduled for a worldwide release on March 19, is projected to expand the narrative scope and production scale significantly, potentially setting new benchmarks for historical epics in Indian cinema.
