Dhurandhar 2 OTT Rights Explode to Rs. 150 Crore; Ranveer Singh Creates Yet Another Record as Jio Hotstar Wins Big
Ranveer Singh continues his unstoppable run as Dhurandhar 2 locks one of the biggest OTT deals in recent years. In a massive development that has sent shockwaves through the industry, the digital streaming rights of the much-anticipated sequel have been sold to Jio Hotstar for a staggering Rs. 150 crore, firmly establishing the film as a non-theatrical powerhouse even before its release.
The announcement comes close on the heels of Dhurandhar’s recent premiere on Netflix, which has reignited audience interest in the franchise and significantly boosted anticipation for the sequel. With renewed buzz and strong repeat value, Dhurandhar has once again become the talk of the town — a momentum that has clearly paid off for its makers.
Netflix Misses Out, Jio Studios Plays the Long Game
According to reliable industry sources, Netflix had earlier attempted to secure the digital rights for both Dhurandhar installments together for a combined sum of Rs. 175 crore, even before the release of the first film. However, Jio Studios, confident in the film’s theatrical and post-release potential, chose to wait.
That calculated gamble has now paid rich dividends.
“Netflix wanted to buy both the installments together prior to the release of the first part. But with immense faith in their product, Jio Studios waited for the audience response and managed to secure a humongous deal of Rs. 150 crores for the second part alone,” a source close to the development revealed.
A Rare Mega Deal in a Slowing OTT Market
What makes the deal even more significant is the current OTT climate. In recent years, streaming platforms have noticeably slowed down on big-ticket acquisitions, becoming increasingly cautious with content investments. Against that backdrop, Dhurandhar 2’s Rs. 150 crore digital valuation stands out as a rare and bold move.
For comparison, the digital rights of Dhurandhar Part One were sold for Rs. 85 crore — a strong figure by any standard. The sequel’s near-doubling of that amount reflects not just franchise growth, but also Ranveer Singh’s rising pull in the digital space.
“The Rs. 150 crores received by Jio Studios is one of the biggest digital deals in the last few years. But the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar, combined with extraordinary audience demand, pushed OTT players to pay a premium,” the source added.
Ranveer Singh’s OTT Dominance Continues
With this deal, Ranveer Singh adds yet another milestone to his career, reinforcing his status as one of the most bankable stars across both theatrical and digital platforms. The actor’s intense performance in Dhurandhar played a crucial role in the film’s post-release traction, which has now translated into unprecedented confidence for the sequel.
Trade analysts believe Dhurandhar 2 is poised to become one of the most-watched premieres on streaming next year, given the franchise’s loyal fanbase and heightened curiosity around how the story unfolds further.
Release Details
Dhurandhar 2 is slated to premiere on Jio Hotstar in May 2026, adding another high-profile title to the platform’s growing content slate. While theatrical plans are yet to be officially detailed, the film’s digital success is already being hailed as a major victory for Jio Studios.
With record-breaking numbers, strategic patience, and audience-backed confidence, Dhurandhar 2 has set a new benchmark for OTT valuations — proving once again that when content clicks, the ceiling keeps rising.
