Mumbai, April 1 (NationPress) Speculation surrounding director Aditya Dhar's ambitious 7.5-hour director’s cut of "Dhurandhar", featuring Ranveer Singh, has ignited intrigue online, with rumors hinting at a limited theatrical release on April 5.

Recent reports indicate that this extended version merges the two films, ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, as evidenced by a CBFC certificate dated March 31, 2026.

However, attempts by IANS to connect with the filmmakers yielded no response, leaving the situation unclear and devoid of an official statement. According to a source close to IANS, this could very well be an April Fool’s prank.

The cast of Dhurandhar includes Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor.

Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film is set to be showcased in premium formats such as IMAX and Dolby Cinema, with selected theaters offering two screenings each weekend.

This project was initially conceived and filmed as a single entity but was subsequently divided into two parts due to its extensive length. The curated director’s cut seamlessly combines the narrative, providing an immersive viewing experience that spans 450 minutes.

The screenings are expected to include three intervals, English subtitles, and technical improvements like enhanced vocal clarity.

As for Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the film has already garnered a staggering Rs. 1,365 crore globally since its premiere on March 19.

A tweet from the production's Jio Studios account on X detailed a day-by-day breakdown, revealing that the Ranveer Singh film accumulated Rs. 867 crore in India NBOC, maintaining a strong performance beyond its opening week, with collections of Rs. 53 crore on Day 8, Rs. 42 crore on Day 9, Rs. 64 crore on Day 10, and Rs. 71 crore on Day 11.

Globally, the film has amassed an impressive Rs. 1,365 crore gross, which includes Rs. 1,023 crore from India and Rs. 342 crore from international markets.

The first installment of the duology, released on December 5, 2025, was also a box-office triumph, crossing the Rs. 1,000 crore mark within three weeks of its debut.

The inaugural part revolves around a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism mission, narrating the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi's criminal networks and political frameworks in Pakistan to dismantle a terror network targeting India.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues this narrative, showcasing the agent's ongoing infiltration into Karachi's crime and politics while seeking to avenge the 26/11 attacks and confronting even larger threats.
