Dhurandhar 2: Will Akshaye Khanna return to join Ranveer Singh? What we know so far
Akshaye Khanna isn't done yet; the actor has more to show in the film
You saw Akshaye Khanna dancing, and you were sold.
You can't get the tune out of your head either.
That clearly, is the Dhurandhar effect.
Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has been turning heads at the box office and is on track to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films. A key factor behind its success, apart from Ranveer Singh, of course, was Akshaye Khanna, whose dance on Bahrainian rapper Flipperachi’s track FA9LA, went viral, even though his character met a dramatic end. Fans have long speculated whether he would return in Dhurandhar 2 — and now, there’s confirmation.
What made the moment so unforgettable was how unexpected it felt. Akshaye Khanna has always been known for intense roles, quiet authority, and layered performances rather than flashy dance numbers. So when his character broke into a rhythm that felt raw, confident, and strangely emotional, audiences were caught off guard. Social media was flooded with clips, fan edits, and reactions. For many viewers, that single sequence became the emotional core of the film, proving that sometimes one bold creative choice can define an entire movie experience.
According to Filmfare, Akshaye Khanna will be back on set for a short, one-week shoot to expand his character's backstory. The sequel will further explore Ranveer Singh’s transformation, too. But the makers are also promising deeper insights into each character's worlds, adding more layers to the character that fans fell in love with in the first film.
The decision to bring him back, even for a limited shoot, shows how strongly the character connected with audiences. While his role in the first film ended on a dramatic note, the emotional imprint remained. Viewers wanted to know who he really was, what shaped him, and what he stood for before his final moments. Rather than treating the character as a closed chapter, the filmmakers have chosen to explore his past, giving the story greater emotional weight and narrative depth.
At the same time, Dhurandhar 2 is expected to push Ranveer Singh’s arc even further. His transformation in the first film was already one of its most talked about elements, blending physical intensity with psychological complexity. The sequel aims to build on that momentum, showing not just how the character evolves, but why. With more attention given to backstories, relationships, and motivations, the story promises to feel richer, more personal, and more immersive.
The cast for Dhurandhar 2 remains star-studded, with Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun joining Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. The film is slated for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026, where it will go head-to-head with Rocking Star Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.
This powerful lineup signals that the sequel will not hold back in terms of scale or ambition. Each actor brings a distinct presence, from intense drama to quiet emotional control. Their inclusion hints at a story that will balance spectacle with substance, offering gripping performances alongside high production values. The box office clash with Toxic only adds to the excitement, setting up one of the most anticipated cinematic showdowns of the year.
What makes Dhurandhar 2 especially intriguing is the way it blends mass appeal with emotional storytelling. It is not just about action, music, or star power. It is about moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. Akshaye Khanna’s return, even in a brief capacity, represents that idea perfectly. His character may have had limited screen time, but the impact was lasting, proving that meaningful storytelling can outweigh sheer duration.
As fans count down to the release, expectations continue to grow. Online discussions, fan theories, and speculation about the expanded backstory are already gaining momentum. Whether it is through music, performance, or emotional depth, Dhurandhar 2 seems ready to recreate the magic that made the first film unforgettable. If the original was defined by surprise and impact, the sequel appears poised to deliver reflection, intensity, and closure.
With its first part already breaking records, and Akshaye Khanna’s highly anticipated return, Dhurandhar 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters of the year.

Official and Confirmed: Heavy Snow Set to Begin Late Tonight, Raising Fears of Major Disruptions and Travel Chaos
Meteorological agencies have officially confirmed that heavy snowfall will begin late tonight, triggering widespread weather alerts and raising serious concerns about travel chaos, power outages, and daily life disruptions. Authorities are urging people to prepare now, as conditions are expected to deteriorate rapidly once snowfall intensifies. Unlike brief winter flurries, this weather system is being described as severe, prolonged, and disruptive, with the potential to paralyze transport networks and strain emergency services. What’s Driving This Major Snow Event? The incoming storm is the result of a powerful collision between Arctic air and moisture-rich weather systems, creating ideal conditions for intense snowfall. Forecasters warn that once the cold front fully settles, snow could fall relentlessly for several hours, with accumulation accelerating overnight. In many regions, temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing, meaning snow will stick immediately, increasing the risk of icy roads and frozen infrastructure. Travel Chaos Almost Inevitable Transport authorities have already issued alerts warning that road, rail, and air travel will be severely affected. Snowfall during overnight and early morning hours poses particular risks, as commuters may wake up to impassable roads and delayed services. Motorways and rural routes are expected to be the hardest hit, with drifting snow and black ice creating dangerous driving conditions. Rail operators are preparing for speed restrictions, delays, and possible cancellations, while airports have activated snow-clearing protocols in anticipation of runway closures. Officials are strongly advising people to avoid non-essential travel, especially during peak morning hours. Schools, Businesses, and Public Services at Risk Local authorities are closely monitoring conditions, with the possibility of school closures increasing if snowfall intensifies as predicted. In previous events of similar magnitude, hundreds of schools were forced to shut with little notice. Businesses are also preparing contingency plans, including remote work arrangements where possible. Emergency services have warned that response times may be slower due to blocked roads and hazardous conditions. Hospitals and care facilities are prioritizing staff accommodation and transport to ensure essential workers can reach their posts safely. Power Outages and Infrastructure Concerns Heavy snow combined with strong winds can place enormous pressure on power lines, trees, and communication networks. Energy providers have placed repair crews on standby, warning that localized power outages are possible if lines are damaged by falling branches or ice buildup. Water systems and exposed pipes are also vulnerable in prolonged freezing conditions. Residents are being encouraged to insulate pipes, check heating systems, and prepare emergency supplies, including torches, batteries, and blankets. Advice for Staying Safe Authorities and weather experts have shared practical advice to help people stay safe during the storm: Keep mobile phones fully charged Stock up on essential food and medication Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary Check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors Dress in layers and wear proper winter footwear Drivers who must travel are advised to carry emergency kits, including warm clothing, food, water, and a shovel. Why This Snowfall Is Different What makes this event particularly concerning is not just the volume of snow, but its timing and persistence. Falling overnight and continuing into the morning rush, it has the potential to catch people off guard, leaving little time for road crews to clear major routes. Meteorologists also warn that after snowfall ends, plummeting temperatures could turn melting snow into dangerous ice, prolonging disruption well beyond the storm itself. Climate Patterns and Extreme Winters While winter snow is not unusual, scientists note that extreme and unpredictable weather events are becoming more frequent. Shifts in global climate patterns can lead to colder air plunging south more often, producing intense snowfall even in areas unaccustomed to it. This event serves as another reminder that infrastructure and emergency planning must adapt to a changing climate reality. Authorities Urge Caution as Overnight Snowfall Threatens Roads, Power Supplies, and Daily Life Weather Alerts Issued Nationwide as Arctic Air Brings Dangerous Winter Conditions From Travel Chaos to Power Outages: How the Snowstorm Could Disrupt Millions Emergency Services on High Alert as Heavy Snow and Ice Move In Why This Storm Is Different and What Residents Should Do Now Schools, Transport, and Businesses Brace for Severe Winter Disruptions Meteorologists Warn of Prolonged Snowfall and Icy Conditions After the Storm
