Dhurandhar is an upcoming spy thriller helmed by Aditya Dhar. Set against real-life events, the movie follows a secret Indian agent on a perilous mission that spans decades. Ranveer Singh plays the central role, with Sara Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, and
joining him on screen.
The film promises high-octane action, patriotism, and drama. It is slated for release on December 5, 2025.
While fans are excited to see a fresh face opposite Ranveer Singh, the casting has also sparked online conversations due to the age gap. Sara is currently 20 years old, while Ranveer is 40. Many have pointed out that Sara was still a child when Ranveer made his debut in Band Baaja Baaraat back in 2010. This 20-year age difference has raised eyebrows, with some calling the pairing odd or uncomfortable. However, others argue that age gaps are not new in Bollywood, and what ultimately matters is the performance and how the characters are portrayed in the story.
Sara Arjun has come a long way from her childhood acting days to leading a major Bollywood film. Her role in Dhurandhar marks a significant step forward in her career and signals that she is ready to take on more challenging and mature roles.
