According to official social-media posts by Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal takes on the role of “Angel of Death” in Dhurandhar, the upcoming spy action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. The new poster and trailer date announcement have ignited fan excitement ahead of the December 5 release.

Mumbai (Star Struck Times) — The forthcoming film Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh in a lead role, has unveiled its most intense visual yet — the character portrait of actor Arjun Rampal, introduced by Ranveer on Instagram under the alias “Angel of Death.” According to sources, the trailer is set to drop on November 12, 2025, with the film slated for theatrical release on December 5, 2025.

In the poster shared by Singh, Rampal is seen sporting a dense beard, crew-cut hairstyle, dark sunglasses and a cigar in hand, his expression steely and unwavering. The caption on the post reads: “The Angel of Death. The countdown begins – 4 Days To Go! #DhurandharTrailer out on 12th November at 12:12 PM. In Cinemas 5th December.”

Fans reacted swiftly online. One Redditor commented:

“He looks sexy, I’m so hyped for Dhurandar istg”
On Twitter and Instagram, emoticons of fire and skulls flooded the post’s comments section, reflecting the audience’s appetite for a raw, edgy film narrative.

Director Aditya Dhar, known for his gritty storytelling, leads the project under the banners of Jio Studios and B62 Studios, with production support from Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. The ensemble cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan and Sara Arjun alongside Rampal and Singh.

According to reporting in India Today and the Hindustan Times, the storyline of Dhurandhar is inspired by real-life espionage operations, with scenes reportedly shot in Thailand to depict Pakistan-based spy settings.

Rampal commented in a recent statement: “This film isn’t anything like I have seen before … The story carries a certain level of grudge and grey shade, and that is something very new and unseen for the audience.”

With the trailer recurring countdown set to ignite interest on November 12, promotional efforts are in full swing. The choice of “12:12 PM” for the trailer drop and the ‘Angel of Death’ moniker subtly point to the film’s dark, suspense-charged tone.

Audience anticipation is further fuelled by the film’s UA 16+ certification revealed earlier this year, hinting at mature themes and intense sequences ahead of its December release.

In the run-up to the trailer, analysts believe the film’s marketing is positioning the first look of Rampal’s character as the viral “moment” to pierce through the clutter. Industry insiders say that launching a character-centric poster just days ahead of trailer release amplifies social-buzz while keeping narrative details under wraps.

As Dhurandhar ramps up its promotional climb, the unveiling of Arjun Rampal’s fierce avatar as “Angel of Death” sets the expectation of an action thriller that blends star power, high stakes and covert-ops drama. For fans of Ranveer Singh, espionage cinema and multi-star Bollywood spectacles, the countdown to December 5 has begun — and the theatre chairs are ready.
