The much-anticipated Bollywood film Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, is set to hit theaters on December 5, 2025. Known for his critically acclaimed war drama Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhar returns with another high-stakes narrative—this time diving into the world of espionage and national intelligence. With a gripping storyline reportedly inspired by real-life covert operations, Dhurandhar features a powerhouse cast that has already stirred excitement among fans and critics alike.
Leading the film is Ranveer Singh, who takes on the role of a daring intelligence officer, rumored to be inspired by the legendary Ajit Doval. Known for his transformative performances, Ranveer is expected to bring intensity and charisma to this action-packed role. Starring opposite him is Sara Arjun, making her debut as a leading lady in a major Bollywood production. At just 20 years old, Sara is transitioning from her successful career as a child actor into more mature roles, and her casting has sparked widespread discussion due to the notable age gap between her and Ranveer.
The film also features a strong supporting cast. Sanjay Dutt joins the ensemble in a mysterious role that has been kept tightly under wraps. R. Madhavan appears in a rugged new avatar, adding gravitas to the film’s dramatic core. Akshaye Khanna, known for his intense screen presence, plays a pivotal character whose motives remain ambiguous in the teaser. Rounding out the cast is Arjun Rampal, who is said to be portraying a complex figure in the intelligence network, offering a performance unlike anything he’s done before.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar, Dhurandhar promises to be a cinematic spectacle filled with action, emotion, and political intrigue. The teaser, released on Ranveer Singh’s 40th birthday, has already generated massive buzz, hinting at a film that blends patriotic fervor with edge-of-your-seat storytelling. As the release date approaches, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films of 2025.
