Ranveer Singh, who previously captivated audiences with films such as Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat, appeared to have lost his charm in recent years. With box office duds like Cirkus, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, and even the underwhelming 83, fans started asking, “Kya Ranveer ka charm khatam ho gaya?”
But then came Dhurandhar.

On his birthday, July 6, the makers of Dhurandhar finally dropped the much-awaited teaser. What followed? Twitter, Reddit, and fan pages went into meltdown. Ranveer’s intense RAW agent look—rugged beard, long hair, blood-stained kurta—reminded fans of Khilji, while others said, “Yeh toh Ranbir Kapoor ke Animal ko takkar de raha hai!”
The transformation is fundamental. And this time, it’s not just about a comeback—it’s about reclaiming the throne.
Directed by Aditya Dhar (of URI: The Surgical Strike fame), Dhurandhar promises more than just action. Backed by Jio Studios, the film is being pitched as one of the boldest spy thrillers Bollywood has ever seen.
And why not? According to Bollywood Hungama, Dhurandhar reportedly takes cues from real-life events linked to the early years of India’s current National Security Advisor — adding a chilling dose of authenticity to its espionage theme.That means RAW agents, deep infiltration, double lives, and enemies who appear to be friends.
The release is locked for December 5, 2025. But it won’t be a solo show.
Here’s who Ranveer will face:
The Raja Saab is a horror comedy film starring Prabhas and Sanjay Dutt.
Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming film features Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, and Nana Patekar.
What’s the twist in the plot? Sanjay Dutt is in both Dhurandhar and The Raja Saab. Let that sink in.
Fan videos and insider buzz have made one thing clear—Dhurandhar is not your typical family-friendly masala film. Allegedly:

The film casts a 20-year-old actress opposite Ranveer, potentially presenting “disturbing or triggering” scenes.
Leaked stills show a Pakistan flag behind Ranveer’s character.
Reports suggest references to Dawood Ibrahim, underworld networks, and graphic violence.
Yeh film Adult Certificate lene ko tayyar hai—and the makers don’t care.
Insiders claim Ranveer’s character is a RAW officer who goes so deep undercover that he forgets who he is. From patriot to traitor, from hero to “the father of all villains”—Dhurandhar might blur every line Bollywood usually avoids.
On one side, you’ve got Ranbir Kapoor, ready to roar back with Animal Park.
On the other hand, Ranveer Singh, charging in as Dhurandhar, aims to shake the entire system.
So the question is simple:
Whose year will 2025 be?
Will it be Ranbir’s silent storm or Ranveer’s explosive return?
