Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is one of the most anticipated films of the year and is set to hit theatres in less than a month. The film stars Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy in Pakistan and takes the narrative forward after the events of Dhurandhar. While actors like R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjuna, and Sanjay Dutt are returning for the sequel, some new names are also expected to join the cast. Yami Gautam’s cameo has been confirmed, and now there are strong rumours of Emraan Hashmi playing a character who was only mentioned in the first part.
In the first film, a villain named Bade Sahab created a sense of mystery. It has been speculated that Bade Sahab could be a reference to figures such as Dawood Ibrahim or Masood Azhar. Amid the intrigue surrounding the character, social networking platform Letterboxd may have accidentally revealed who plays the role.
