Whoever has watched Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar might have pondered upon the question ‘Who is Bade sahab?’ The enigmatic character has been mentioned many times in the film with Sanjay Dutt’s SP Chaudhary Aslam also referring him as his boss.
While several social media users have speculated that Bade sahab might be a nickname for Dawood Ibrahim or Maulana Masood Azhar, nothing about who is playing the character has been officially revealed by the makers.
However, a Letterboxd entry might have accidentally revealed the actor who would be playing the mysterious role. In the list of the cast and crew, it shows actors from Part 1 who will be reprising their roles, including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Danish Pandor, and Rakesh Bedi. Other new members are Raj Zutshi (rumoured to be playing a Pak general) and director Aditya Dhar’s wife Yami Gautam, rumoured to be doing a cameo in the film. What caught everybody’s attention was one name – Emraan Hashmi. The platform listed him in the main cast of Dhurandhar 2, without revealing any details about his character. However, they have now deleted the name from the cast list.
The teaser of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which was released recently, showed Hamza (Ranveer Singh) going to take revenge in Lyari after the death of Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna), hinting towards Hamza’s fight against Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal) and Bade sahab.
Dhurandhar 2 is scheduled to release on March 19.
