Baaghi 4: Sanjay Dutt is all set to take on the role of the antagonist in ‘Baaghi 4’, the latest installment in the popular action franchise headlined by Tiger Shroff. The film, directed by A. Harsha and produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, 2025. 


Sanjay Dutt's first look from Baaghi 4


On Monday, Dutt, 65, revealed his participation in the project on social media, sharing the intense first-look poster of his character. "Every Aashiq is a Villain. #SajidNadiadwala's #Baaghi4 Directed by @NimmaAHarsha," he wrote in his caption, tagging the film's key collaborators. 




The poster showcases Dutt in a fierce and menacing avatar, seated on a throne while cradling a lifeless woman in his arms. Dressed in blood-soaked clothes, he emanates a mix of anguish and fury, hinting at the depth and complexity of his character. 


Tiger Shroff’s first look


Last month, the makers of Baaghi 4 had unveiled Tiger Shroff’s gritty first-look poster as Ronnie. The image depicted Tiger sitting in a run-down toilet, covered in blood, holding a machete in one hand and a bottle of alcohol in the other. With a cigarette in his mouth, Tiger gazed intently at the camera, surrounded by a blood-stained setting. A  message on the wall behind him read, “This time, he is not the same.” 




Baaghi franchise


The Baaghi series began in 2016 with the first film directed by Sabbir Khan. Subsequent installments, Baaghi 2 (2018) and Baaghi 3 (2020), were helmed by Ahmed Khan. Known for its high-octane action sequences, the franchise has featured leading ladies like Shraddha Kapoor (in the first and third films) and Disha Patani (in the second). 


Apart from 'Baaghi 4', Sanjay Dutt is also set to appear in the comedy ensemble 'Housefull 5'.
