At the centre of the film is Ranveer Singh, who takes on a double role as Hamza Ali and Jaskirat Singh Rangi. His performance is expected to be one of the film’s biggest highlights, and unsurprisingly, he is also reported to be the highest-paid actor on the project.

Sanjay Dutt And R. Madhavan Follow Behind
Veteran star Sanjay Dutt, who appears in a fierce avatar as Chaudhary Aslam, is said to be the second-highest paid, reportedly earning around Rs 10 crore.
Meanwhile, R. Madhavan returns as Ajay Sanyal, a role that had already impressed audiences in the first instalment. For the sequel, he has reportedly received Rs 9 crore.
Supporting Cast Fees Revealed
Arjun Rampal, who plays Major Iqbal, is also part of the ensemble. However, compared to his co-stars, his reported fee is significantly lower, at around Rs 1 crore.
Reports suggest that Akshaye Khanna has been paid approximately Rs 2.5 crore for his role.
Sara Arjun’s Fee Draws Attention
Playing Yalina Jamali, Hamza’s wife, the female main lead, Sara Arjun is one of the key faces of the film. However, her reported remuneration stands at Rs 1 crore, placing her far behind the film’s male lead.
While these figures remain unconfirmed, the noticeable gap between the lead actors’ earnings has sparked discussion, especially given their central roles in the narrative.

Beyond salaries, the film is expected to make a thunderous start at the box office. Trade experts believe the global opening day collection could cross Rs 200 crore, reflecting the immense hype surrounding the project.
With a multi-star cast, high-octane storytelling, and strong pre-release momentum, Dhurandhar 2 is poised for a grand debut. The only question now, is the film set to redefine box office success once again?
