Ranveer Singh to portray THIS character in Aditya Dhar’s upcoming espionage drama?

Aditya Dhar is reportedly making a comeback to direction with an espionage drama which will feature Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The film is tentatively titled Dhurandhar.

Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh have decided to collaborate for the first time on a thriller. The project - which has reportedly been titled Dhurandhar (tentative), also features Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. Even though the director hasn't revealed anything about the plot, a source told Times Now that the film could revolve around a high-profile killing.

A few days ago, reports suggested that Abu Qatal, who worked closely with Hafiz Saeed, was killed by unknown assailants in Pakistan. The incident has again brought to the fore the discussions around covert operations, intelligence networks, and high-stakes international espionage.

If reports are to be believed, Aditya Dhar, awarded with the National Film Award for Best Director for Uri: The Surgical Strike, has plans to direct an espionage thriller that delves into the complex world of global conflicts and covert operatives

Even though the details haven't been shared yet, a source close to the production told Times Now, "It is not directly inspired by this incident, but anyone familiar with Aditya's work knows he has a knack for weaving real-world influences into his narratives. The blueprint of how such operations unfold has been meticulously studied. Given recent events, the lines between fact and fiction seem to be blurring, making people question just how much of reality seeps into the reel."

Ranveer Singh, who will play the protagonist, has been seen in intense, high-octane shoot sequences. It will be intriguing to see if he portrays one of the two unidentified men in Aditya's upcoming directorial.

Ranveer had announced the film on July 27, 2024. His Instagram caption read, "This one is for my fans, who have been so patient with me, and been clamouring for a turn like this. I love you all, and I promise you, this time, a cinematic experience like never before. With your blessings, we embark on this great, big motion picture adventure with spirited energy and pure intent. This time, it's personal."
