Akshaye Khanna Turns ‘Apex Predator’ in New Poster

Siddharth Anand quickly reacted to the poster with, “Can’t wait! Bring it on already,” while filmmaker Zoya Akhtar dropped a heart-eyed and fire emoji. Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their anticipation for tomorrow’s trailer release.

The Film’s Other Characters Stir Buzz Too

The new reveal follows the earlier introduction of Sanjay Dutt’s rugged avatar. In last week’s poster, Dutt appeared in a white shirt, sporting a thick beard and piercing stare. Ranveer Singh had captioned that look simply as “The Jinn,” hinting at a mysterious, formidable character. Posters of Arjun Rampal and Madhavan have also contributed to building a tense, high-octane atmosphere around the film.

What Is Dhurandhar About?

While the storyline remains under wraps, the film is said to be inspired by real events. Speculation suggests that Ranveer Singh will portray an undercover intelligence officer, with the plot reportedly delving into the courage and operations of Indian special agents in Pakistan. The film marks Aditya Dhar’s return to direction, and given his track record, expectations are predictably soaring.

Dhurandhar is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 5, 2025, promising a gritty action thriller propelled by a strong cast and high stakes.
