National Award-winning director Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike), brings an epic saga commanding an unparalleled cast, headlined by Ranveer Singh in his deadliest avatar yet, alongside an ensemble of cinematic heavyweights all who have completely transformed, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, with a compelling debut by Sara Arjun.
A special launch was held to unveil the trailer for the high-octane action-thriller, Dhurandhar. The epic event took place at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai and the star-studded cast, Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun, took centre stage, joined by director Aditya Dhar and producers Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. The Dhurandhar trailer is a declaration of war—a relentless 4:10-minute glimpse into a narrative where the lines between hero and operative are violently blurred.
The creators and cast stepped onto the stage to share their experience of building this cinematic spectacle.
Ranveer Singh (The Wrath of God) said, “We wanted to create a feature presentation that’s at par with any film in the world. Our attempt was to level up in every aspect of the cinematic process to create a film that we as Indians can be proud of. Its raw, its gritty and is unapologetically Indian. Aditya has pitched it perfectly. It’s an incredible and complex story, with world class technical execution and intense performances. We wanted to make an unapologetically Indian film that gets counted amongst the most elite instalments in this genre worldwide. I believe it is India’s moment to shine on the global stage. And we aim to be at the heart of that moment and that phenomenon whilst honouring and staying true to our roots. It’s been an experience of a lifetime collaborating with Aditya on this courageous endeavour. We are grateful to be partnering with Jyoti at Jio Studios who has flexed her might and left no stone unturned in backing this brave leap in Indian cinema.”
R. Madhavan (The Charioteer of Karma) on his calculated role: “Aditya has sketched characters that bristle with emotion and intelligence. I play Ajay Sanyal, the voice of strategy, a puppeteer in this high-stakes game. The world we created strikes that perfect, rare cinematic balance of realism and scale. This isn’t traditional heroism; it’s about minimalistic, effective intensity when the consequences are absolute.”
Director Aditya Dhar (The Creator) on the film’s genesis said: “Dhurandhar isn’t just a film—it’s a raw, visceral truth pulled from a deeply personal core. It is a tribute to the silent architects of our world, the extraordinary men and women whose monumental work never makes the headlines. My lens on ‘national duty’ rejects easy jingoism; it’s about honouring the grit, the pain, and the real sacrifice of service. I am relentlessly drawn to India, a nation of endless, inspiring complexity—its culture, its contradictions, and the profound sense of duty that pulses beneath it all. This project is the most challenging, ambitious, and personal film of my career. It was built on a grand, uncompromising vision, brought to life by the absolute faith of Jyoti Deshpande and Jio Studios and the tireless, dedicated effort from the team at B62 Studios. My deepest gratitude goes out to my entire cast and crew, both Jio Studios and B62 teams, and now, we hand this truth over to the audience.”
Dhurandhar (The Trailer) showcases the striking performances by its unprecedented cast, the uncompromising action and an intense narrative driven by duty, sacrifice, and consequence, Dhurandhar is locked, loaded, and ready for release.
