Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar turned out to be a massive success at the box office, one that no one saw coming. The Ranveer Singh-starrer has entered the Rs 1,000 crore club and is still going strong, making it the highest-grossing Indian film so far. The story of Dhurandhar is yet to reach a conclusion, with its sequel set to release in theatres on March 19, 2026. Now, it appears that the industry is taking cues from Dhurandhar’s success.

King and Love and War to follow Dhurandhar`s path

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers of King and Love & War are reconsidering their release strategies. King marks Shah Rukh Khan’s big-screen spectacle with his daughter Suhana Khan and is being directed by Siddharth Anand. Love & War is a period drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor. Quoting a source, the portal stated, “Both King and Love & War are big-budget spectacles and have gone beyond what was on paper in terms of production cost. As Dhurandhar has set a trend, both SRK and Bhansali are individually contemplating splitting their epics into two parts and releasing them within a gap of less than six months.”
