Shot back-to-back alongside the first part, filming began in July 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, and wrapped in October 2025. Location filming took place in Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh in India, and Thailand; with some areas doubling for Pakistan-set sequences. The film has music composed by Shashwat Sachdev, cinematography handled by Vikash Nowlakha and editing by Shivkumar V. Panicker.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled for a theatrical release on 19 March 2026, coinciding with Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and Eid-al-Fitr.

Cast

Production

The sequel was developed as the second installment of Dhurandhar . Originally conceived as a single film, the story was divided into two parts due to its scale and narrative complexity, with both entries shot concurrently. [4] Principal photography took place between July 2024 and October 2025 across India and Thailand. [5]

Music

The soundtrack is composed by Shashwat Sachdev. [6] The music rights were acquired by T-Series for ₹45 crore, thus replacing Saregama. [7] [8]

Marketing

The brief glimpse of the sequel appeared in the post-credits scene of the first installment, revealing its title and release date. [9] Initially, reports suggested that the teaser would be screened alongside Border 2 in theatres on 30 January 2026. [10] [11] This plan, however, did not materialise. Dhar later announced that the teaser would be released separately in the near future. [12] The official teaser was unveiled on 3 February 2026. [13] However, the footage that was used in the teaser was the same one as the glimpse that appeared in the post-credit scene of the first part, albeit with some modifications. [14]

Release

Theatrical

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is scheduled for theatrical release on 19 March 2026, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, Gudi Padwa and Ugadi. It will be clashing with the Kannada film Toxic and the Malayalam film Aadu 3 . [15] [16] Unlike the first part, it will also release in the Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages, apart from its original Hindi language. [17] [18]

Home media

The digital streaming rights were acquired by JioHotstar for ₹150 crore, thus replacing Netflix. [19] The satellite rights were acquired by Star Gold for ₹50 crore. [20]
