Backed by B62 Studios and Jio Studios, Dhurandhar 2 stars Ranveer Singh as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who transforms into covert operative Hamza Ali Mazari operating deep inside Pakistan. The sequel traces Mazari’s rise in the Karachi underworld and explores his origins.
The film also features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi in key roles.
