Dhurandhar teaser: ‘Ghayal' Ranveer Singh is out for revenge; fans call casting of Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Madhavan and Arjun Rampal ‘insane'
Ranveer Singh is back — and this time, with full force. On the actor's birthday on Sunday, the makers of Dhurandhar gifted fans the much-awaited first look video of the film. The intense clip showcases Ranveer in a somber, menacing avatar, fully geared up for revenge. As he takes on enemies with swift and brutal moves, the film's impressive ensemble cast featuring Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal also make their presence felt. The 2-minute-40-second gritty video is set to a Punjabi rap that elevates the impact of the intense action sequences. Ranveer, with long hair, a thick beard, and a cigarette in hand, looks menacing. He is seen working at a restaurant, seemingly lying low before springing into action. He delivers intense lines like, 'Ghayal hoon isliye Ghatak hoon.' The video escalates with a barrage of violent scenes, including one particularly brutal moment where a group of men pushes another man into boiling hot water. Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal also make powerful appearances in the clip. Fans expressed their excitement for Ranveer Singh's next film. A fan wrote, 'Ranveer Singh comeback loading 🔥🔥🔥.' Another comment read, 'What an insane casting😱.' Earlier, in a conversation with NDTV, Arjun Rampal spoke about working with Ranveer on Dhurandhar and praised his performance. He said, 'Ranveer is in top form and you haven't seen this version of him anywhere… get ready.' Dhurandhar marks Ranveer's return to a lead role after a two-year gap. He was last seen playing the lead in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He also made a cameo appearance in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, which released in 2024. Prior to Rocky Aur Rani, Ranveer faced a rough patch at the box office with underperforming films like Cirkus (2022) and Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022). However, with Dhurandhar's high-intensity teaser and a powerful ensemble, this could be Ranveer's big comeback moment. Dhurandhar is scheduled to release on December 5, 2025. The film is directed, produced, and written by Aditya Dhar, best known for the Vicky Kaushal-starrer Uri: The Surgical Strike. Dhurandhar marks Aditya's second directorial venture and is co-produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.

NDTV Exclusive: Arjun Rampal Spills The Beans On Ranveer Singh's 'Top Form' In Dhurandhar
New Delhi: Arjun Rampal has been busy lately with multiple releases. He won hearts recently as the antagonist Rauf Mirza in Rana Naidu Season 2. He essayed the role of a ruthless goon to perfection. As for his upcoming lineup, all eyes are on Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, featuring an ensemble cast - Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Rakesh Bedi, and Vikash Rai alongside Arjun Rampal. Ranveer Singh returns with an intense and gritty role in the film after his flamboyant character Rocky Randhawa in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Arjun Rampal talks about what to watch out for in the film, without revealing much. He says, "Ranveer is in top form and you haven't seen this version of him anywhere..... get ready." Coming back to Rana Naidu, the actor seems to have quite a penchant for playing villainous roles. Who can forget his performance as the vile film producer Mukesh from Om Shanti Om? Asked to choose between that and his latest onscreen performance as Rauf, he says, "I would choose Rauf over Mukesh now." Speaking of his co-star Rana Daggubati in Rana Naidu Season 2, Arjun Rampal had previously said how he felt 'small' in front of him. He had also spoken about wanting to essay Rana Daggubati's character in Season 1 because it was fantastic. Speaking of how well they bonded on set, Arjun Rampal adds, "He's a great chap with a wonderful cinematic mind. He's laid back, chilled, enterprising, a foodie, all the things I would relate to and bond with. We had a blast together." As for finding similarities with his unhinged onscreen persona as Rauf, Arjun chuckles, "Unhinged, yes, unapologetic no, it's important to say sorry if proven wrong. Other than that, honest, loyal, and comfortable in my skin like Rauf is, yes." As for his upcoming projects, Arjun Rampal has a cameo in Nikita Roy, led by Sonakshi Sinha. He also has Dhurandhar and O Saathi Re in his lineup.
