Dhurandhar Part 1 hits cinemas December 5, 2025, setting the stage for an ambitious two-part Bollywood epic, says industry sources.
According to sources, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar franchise is officially underway. Part 1 releases December 5, 2025, with Dhurandhar 2 slated for Summer 2026. The two-part release strategy aims to maximize narrative impact and box office potential while featuring a stellar cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and R. Madhavan.
Mumbai, India (Star Struck Times) — Ranveer Singh is set to expand his cinematic universe with Dhurandhar, marking the official launch of a franchise. According to industry insiders, the filmmakers have confirmed a two-part release strategy, with Dhurandhar Part 1 scheduled for December 5, 2025, and Dhurandhar 2 slated for Summer 2026.
The decision to split the narrative into two films is reportedly driven by the sheer scale and ambition of the story. “It’s an ambitious story made on a massive scale, hence splitting it into two films made narrative sense. The world of Dhurandhar is different, and where Part 1 ends, audiences will naturally be left wanting more,” a source close to production explained.
The first installment’s edit is locked, with a runtime close to three hours, promising an immersive cinematic experience. Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2 is in pre-production, with scripts, casting, and locations actively being finalized.
Industry analysts view this franchise approach as both a storytelling and financial strategy. “It’s a big-budget film with detailed production elements. Splitting it into two parts not only enhances storytelling but also makes it more financially feasible,” the insider added.
The cast for Dhurandhar includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, alongside Ranveer Singh. The first look of Ranveer Singh alongside Akshaye Khanna has already taken social media by storm, generating massive anticipation among fans.
Fans on Twitter reacted with excitement: “Can’t wait for Dhurandhar Part 1! Ranveer Singh is on fire!” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “A franchise with Ranveer Singh is going to be epic. December can’t come soon enough!”
The filmmakers are confident that the two-part format will create a lasting impact. “The cinematic universe of Dhurandhar is built to enthrall audiences, and the second part will elevate the story even further,” confirms a production official.
With the industry and fans eagerly awaiting December 5, Dhurandhar is positioned to become one of the most talked-about Bollywood franchises in recent years. The film’s ambitious scale, star-studded cast, and strategic release plan make it a must-watch event for the 2025 holiday season.
