₹300-Crore ‘Dhurandhar’ Propels Ranveer Singh Into Franchise League

Riding high on the historic box office success of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh has firmly re-established himself at the top of Hindi cinema, with the spy thriller emerging as the biggest grosser of his career and one of the industry’s most successful films in recent years.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar scripted history by recording the highest-ever second Saturday collection in Hindi cinema , earning ₹53.70 crore. The film has crossed ₹300 crore in India net collections within two weeks, surpassing Ranveer Singh’s previous blockbusters such as Padmaavat and Simmba.

The film’s unprecedented performance has not only positioned Dhurandhar as a defining moment in Ranveer Singh’s career but has also reshaped his upcoming professional slate, which is now firmly anchored around large-scale franchises and action-driven narratives.

In a major development, the makers have officially confirmed a sequel to Dhurandhar . Ranveer Singh will reprise his role as Indian spy Hamza, with the franchise set to expand further following the strong audience response to the first instalment. While a release date has not yet been announced, the sequel has been locked in as a priority project.

Another significant announcement in Ranveer Singh’s lineup is Don 3 . Excel Entertainment officially confirmed the actor as the new lead of the iconic Don franchise, marking a generational shift after Shah Rukh Khan. Directed by Farhan Akhtar, the film is currently in the pre-production stage and is among the most anticipated Hindi films in the coming years.

Adding to this, director Aditya Dhar has publicly confirmed that his collaboration with Ranveer Singh will continue beyond Dhurandhar. While details of the new project remain under wraps, the announcement signals a long-term creative partnership between the actor and the filmmaker following the success of their first collaboration.

Industry observers note that Ranveer Singh’s current lineup reflects a clear strategic shift towards franchise-backed, high-concept action cinema , a space that has increasingly dominated the Hindi box office. With Dhurandhar establishing a new benchmark, expectations are high from his future projects.

At present, these announced films form Ranveer Singh’s only confirmed and officially acknowledged upcoming projects , as the actor remains selective amid renewed box office momentum. With Dhurandhar continuing its strong theatrical run and future franchises already in motion, Ranveer Singh appears poised to enter one of the most decisive phases of his career.
