As Dhurandhar continues to rewrite box office records with its Hindi-only release, emerging as one of the biggest Indian film phenomena in recent times, the overwhelming audience response has paved the way for an even more ambitious sequel. Strong demand from South Indian markets, driven by word-of-mouth, social media buzz, and repeat viewings, has played a decisive role in shaping the franchise’s next chapter.
Sequel Announcement Fueled by Pan-India Demand
The makers have officially announced Dhurandhar 2, locking in a grand Eid release on March 19, 2026. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel will debut simultaneously in five languages — Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam — marking a full-fledged pan-India and global rollout.
South India Response Prompts Multi-Language Strategy
Despite releasing exclusively in Hindi, Dhurandhar witnessed remarkable traction across South India. Distributors and exhibitors from the region consistently highlighted audience demand for dubbed versions, with fans actively calling for wider language accessibility. Taking note of this organic and sustained interest — not only within India but also among South Indian audiences worldwide — the makers have decided to significantly expand the franchise’s reach with Dhurandhar 2, ensuring day-one access in multiple regional languages.
Aditya Dhar to Scale Up the Franchise
Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios in collaboration with B62 Studios, Dhurandhar 2 promises to elevate both narrative scale and cinematic spectacle, charting the next phase of the action-packed franchise.
One of 2026’s Most Anticipated Releases
Currently in post-production, the film is already being positioned as one of the most anticipated Indian releases of 2026. In addition to its pan-India launch, the makers are also exploring mainstream theatrical releases beyond the diaspora market in select overseas territories.
