Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Ranveer Singh is all set to expand Dhurandhar, a film that will mark the beginning of a franchise. The makers have set a two-part release plan, with Dhurandhar Part 1 set to release in theaters on December 5, 2025, while Dhurandhar Part 2 is expected to release in summer 2026.

According to sources close to the development, the decision to make the film in two parts was a natural choice. The source says, “This is an ambitious story built on a massive scale, so splitting it into two films makes narrative sense. The world of Dhurandhar is different, and where Part 1 ends, audiences will naturally want more.”

Editing of Part 1 is locked, and the runtime is close to 3 hours. Meanwhile, work is actively underway on Dhurandhar 2, which is currently in the pre-production stage.

The franchise approach is also seen as a strategic move in terms of budget and box office feasibility. The source further added, “This is a big budget film with elaborate production elements. Splitting it into two parts not only enhances the storytelling but also makes it more financially viable.”

The first look of Ranveer Singh to Akshay Khanna has already created a stir on social media. Written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar, the anticipation has already started with the release dates being finalised. As the industry watches keenly, all eyes are now on December 5 – the day Ranveer Singh takes us into the world of Dhurandhar.

The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun in lead roles.
