The excitement around Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2) continues to grow as the much-awaited sequel gears up for its global release on March 19, 2026. Reports suggest that fans might get the opportunity to watch the film a day before its official release through special paid preview shows in India.
According to reports, the makers are considering organising advance paid preview screenings for audiences ahead of the theatrical release. If the plan goes ahead, viewers will be able to watch the film before its official premiere date.
Typically, advance ticket bookings for Bollywood films begin a few days or a week before release. However, the possibility of paid previews could allow fans to experience the sequel even earlier.

The first part of the film, Dhurandhar, released on December 5 last year and went on to become one of the biggest films of 2025. The action thriller created several box office records, including becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film in India and the highest-grossing A-rated Indian film.
Cast and new additions in Dhurandhar: The Revenge
The original film featured a strong ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R. Madhavan. Akshaye Khanna played the role of Lyari gangster Rehman Dakait in the first part. The film also featured actors such as Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, Saumya Tandon and Danish Pandor.
The sequel is expected to introduce new characters as well. Actress Yami Gautam is reportedly set to join the cast, while Emraan Hashmi will play the main antagonist in the film as Bade Sahab.
