R Madhavan opened up about the limited screen time in Dhurandhar. The actor stated that his screen presence will increase in the sequel, which is slated to be released in theatres in March 19, 2026.
Dhurandhar, which is inching towards Rs 200 crore feat in India, is one of the biggest films of the year. The movie has been making a buzz for its gripping tale of a spy who went on a mission to Pakistan to save India from deadly attacks. Ever since the first part was released in theatres on December 5, fans have been quite excited to see the sequel as well. Recently, R Madhavan, who played a pivotal role in the film, talked about his limited screen time in Dhurandhar. The actor shared that the audience will get to see a lot more about his character in the coming sequel.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, R Madhavan said, “Aditya Dhar is a monk. Through all the chaos of making a film so dense and intense, he would sit there for the anxieties to settle down. What a fine human being! After working with Aditya in Dhurandhar, I want to work with him again and again.”
“My screen presence is limited in the first part. But in the second part, which will release in March, there is a lot of my character as he trains Ranveer’s character in skills of espionage warfare,” he further added. This also highlights that Dhurandhar 2 will also focus on the mentor-trainee dynamic between Ajay Sanyal and Jaskirat, showing the transformation of a full-fledged spy.
In the same interview, Madhavan also opened up about doing multiple projects in 2025. He added, “I started the year with Hisaab Barabar. I am ending the year with Dhurandhar, which is one of the most important films of my career. I’ve had the privilege of working with the best directors in the most creative and productive phase of their career: Mani Ratnam, Kamal Haasan, Rajkumar Hirani, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Aanand L Rai, and now Aditya Dhar. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Talking about Dhurandhar, the spy movie also features Akshaye Khanna, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Danish Pandor in key roles. The film has been written and directed by Aditya Dhar. The sequel of Dhurandhar is slated to be released in theatres on March 19, 2026. The movie is set to have a box office clash with Yash’s Toxic.
