Rumored Emraan Hashmi cast leak fuels Dhurandhar sequel speculation

A fresh casting leak has set social media buzzing, linking Emraan Hashmi to the much-anticipated sequel of Dhurandhar . The unverified list claims Hashmi will feature in a key role alongside Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari and Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal, with Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan also named, while Yami Gautam is said to make a special appearance.

The leaked details suggest that the sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge , will dig deeper into gang rivalries and the blurred moral lines of Lyari’s streets, pushing the revenge narrative to a darker and more intense level. Fans have been quick to praise the supposed casting as “peak,” especially noting how Hashmi’s alleged involvement aligns with his long-standing image in gritty, underworld-themed roles.

However, not everyone is convinced. Trade insider KBP Reviews has dismissed the circulating list as fan-made, stressing that official announcements continue to stick only to confirmed names. The mystery around the powerful character “Bade Sahab” remains intact, with the makers choosing to keep that reveal tightly guarded.

The Dhurandhar franchise has remained a strong talking point since the first film’s release in 2025. Directed by Aditya Dhar , the original film stood out for its scale, stylised action, and morally complex storytelling, helping it gain significant box-office traction and audience attention. Dhar is also set to return as writer, director, and co-producer for the sequel, ensuring creative continuity.

Adding to the excitement, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is officially slated for a March 19, 2026 theatrical release and will arrive in multiple languages, aiming for a wide pan-India reach. While the rumored casting continues to fuel speculation, fans now await an official word from the makers to see how much of the buzz translates into reality.
