The highly anticipated sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to make headlines as fans eagerly await more details ahead of its March 19, 2026 release. One of the biggest talking points recently is the speculation around the mysterious antagonist known only as Bade Sahab, a central figure teased in the first film.

While the makers have kept this character’s identity under wraps, a recent cast listing on social platform has triggered widespread chatter by including the OG villain Emraan Hashmi among the announced cast members.

This has led insiders and fans alike to speculate that Hashmi might be portraying the previously unseen Bade Sahab, a shadowy power broker hinted at in Part 1.

The sequel, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh also features returning ensemble faces such as Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and more. The story promises to delve deeper into international espionage and revenge arcs set against gripping geopolitical stakes.

Although the latest reveal has fuelled excitement, it should be noted such listings can be publicly edited and don’t always reflect official casting announcements. Fans will have to wait for confirmation from the film’s team or promotional material for an official reveal.
