There is immense excitement among audiences regarding the upcoming film *Dhurandhar 2*, starring Ranveer Singh. With just a few hours remaining until its release, audiences are eager to catch every update concerning the film. The first installment, *Dhurandhar*, was showered with love by the audience—a key reason for its success at the box office. Fans are currently engaging in various speculations regarding the plot, the villain, and the filming locations of *Dhurandhar 2*; let's take a closer look at these details.

What will the story be?
The narrative of the first film, *Dhurandhar*, ended on an unresolved note. It is expected that the story of the sequel, *Dhurandhar 2*, will pick up right where the previous one left off. The previous film concluded with Ranveer Singh (Hamza) killing Akshay Khanna (Rahman Dacoit). Subsequently, Hamza crossed out Major Iqbal's (Arjun Rampal) name from his diary. It is widely believed that in the upcoming storyline, Hamza will set out to eliminate Major Iqbal. The trailer suggests that the sequel may delve into Hamza's true identity and origins—revealing who he really is and where he comes from—as well as the struggles he endured in his past life. There is also speculation that the film will depict Hamza rising to power and ruling over Lyari.
Who could be the villain in *Dhurandhar 2*?
In *Dhurandhar*, Rahman Dacoit was portrayed as the primary antagonist, a character that was highly appreciated by the audience. However, Major Iqbal's presence in the first installment cannot be overlooked either. Although he had limited screen time, he left the audience stunned with his commanding presence. The manner in which he tortured an Indian spy was truly spine-chilling. Furthermore, his role during the Mumbai attacks was depicted as extremely menacing. Consequently, it is anticipated that Major Iqbal will emerge as the true villain in *Dhurandhar 2*, and Hamza will seek his revenge against him.
Where was the film shot?
The film *Dhurandhar 2* tells a story set in Pakistan; however, it was not actually filmed there. The Lyari district of Pakistan was recreated in Bangkok for the shoot. A notable aspect of the production is that both installments of the film were shot simultaneously. Various segments of the movie were filmed across locations such as Mumbai, Ludhiana, Ladakh, Kasauli, Chandigarh, and Amritsar.

Will *Dhurandhar* Become a Successful Franchise?
Given the success of the first *Dhurandhar* film and the immense buzz surrounding *Dhurandhar 2*, it appears likely that *Dhurandhar* is poised to become a successful franchise. The first installment of the film grossed ₹1,300 crore worldwide. Critics believe that the second installment could potentially earn even more than its predecessor. Some fans are already anticipating a third installment of *Dhurandhar*. Recently, Anil Kapoor revealed that he had been approached for the second film; however, he declined the role due to prior commitments to other projects. When asked about a potential third installment, he stated that he would be looking to do something entirely new.
