The explosive first look from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar was unveiled by the makers on Sunday. As it came out, speculations about the plot have been rife. The film is based on real events and the character of R Madhavan carries a look which matches India’s National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval.
As per reports, Madhavan plays Doval in the film. The NSA chief is known for his work in Operation Bluestar in 1988 as he infiltrated the Golden Temple of Amritsar and provided information about some Khalistani terrorists. It is also being speculated that Ranveer plays the role of Major Mohit Sharma, a shooter who had entered Pakistan and befriended terrorists as part of his covert operation. He passed away in 2009 during an operation in Kashmir. There is no official confirmation on this yet.
No plot details were revealed in the first look, which majorly focused on revealing looks of all the actors.
The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun in pivotal roles. It is written and directed by URI: The Surgical Strike (2019) director Aditya Dhar.
Dhurandhar was announced last year in July. Speaking about the film, Ranveer had written on Instagram, “This one is for my fans, who have been so patient with me, and been clamouring for a turn like this. I love you all, and I promise you, this time, a cinematic experience like never before. With your blessings, we embark on this great, big motion picture adventure with spirited energy and pure intent. This time, it’s personal.” The spy-thriller marks a comeback for the actor, whose last release was Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023).
The film features music and background score by Shashwat Sachdev and lyrics by Kumaar. It is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya and Lokesh Dhar, and is set to be released in theatres on December 5.
