The trailer for Dhurandhar — the mostly highly-anticipated movie of the year (in India, at least) — dropped yesterday, and I’ve been squirming since. The gory opening sequence feat a heavily-bearded Arjun Rampal and his tortured prisoner is designed to shock, but the following frames spotlighting Ranveer Singh in various bloodied avatars, and some brutal violence featuring Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt, are a bit of… forgive the pun… an overkill. R Madhavan’s Ajay Sanyal, which seems to be modelled after NSA Ajit Doval is a bit of a saving grace — in so that at least his character isn’t spattered with blood, and is the one pulling the strategic strings.
Despite the onslaught of hyper-violence that the trailer seems to promise, audiences have been counting down to the day Aditya Dhar’s espionage drama — his first directorial outing since Uri’s explosive release in 2018 — hits theatres. Before that, here are a few details about the film to keep in mind.
Dhurandhar release date, cast, characters, true story and everything else you need to know

What is the release date for Dhurandhar?
Dhurandhar will be hitting cinemas in India on December 5, 2025. And although there hasn’t been an official confirmation yet, several reports have suggested that the Ranveer Singh-starrer will be released in two parts.
Which actors are a part of Dhurandhar?
The gritty trailer for the Aditya Dhar-directorial introduces Ranveer Singh as the main character, who leads the cast as "The Wrath of God"; Akshaye Khanna, who plays "The Apex Predator”, Sanjay Dutt as "The Jinn”, R Madhavan as “The Charioteer of Karma”, and Arjun Rampal portraying "The Angel of Death". 20-year-old Sara Arjun, who’s appeared in a number of Hindi and Tamil films, will feature as the romantic interest for Singh's character. This will also mark her first big outing in a Bollywood movie.
Is Dhurandhar based on a true story?
Long before the trailer launch in Mumbai, the makers of the highly-anticipated espionage drama confirmed that it was based on real events. While earlier reports seemed to indicate that Singh’s character was based on India’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval — in his younger days, to be specific — R Madhavan’s look in the trailer has deflated that theory in part. The 55-year-old actor, who’s introduced as “Ajay Sanyal – Indian Intelligence” alias “Charioteer of Karma”, bares a likely resemblance to the Doval in both look and language.
To this end, the other theory blazing through social media is that Singh’s role is based on Major Mohit Sharma, one of India’s most decorated Para Special Forces officers who had gone undercover as Iftikhar and infiltrated Hizbul Mujahideen in the early 2000s. Posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra in 2009 for his supreme bravery in Kupwara, Major Sharma had also received the Sena Medal for gallantry earlier in his career. A few months ago, actor Suhail Nayyar had essayed a character modelled on the celebrated soldier in Netflix’s web series Saare Jahan Se Accha.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt plays the late SP Chaudhary Aslam, aka “The Jinn”, the real and influential 'encounter specialist' of the Karachi police, who oversaw the city's Anti-Extremist Cell and survived numerous assassination attempts by the Taliban before his violent death in a bomb blast carried out by the TTP in 2014. Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dakait, aka “The Apex Predator”, is believed to be inspired by the actual Sardar Abdul Rehman Baloch, a feared and powerful crime lord from Karachi's Lyari area who presided over the infamous Peoples' Aman Committee until his death in a police confrontation in 2009.
Going by the trailer, Arjun Rampal’s character Major Iqbal ISI, also known as the "Angel of Death”, is going to be hard to watch. The opening (bloodied) sequence features him torturing an Indian operative with a promise to “bleed India with a 1,000 cuts”.
