With less than a month left for its grand Eid release, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is already dominating online chatter — and this time, it’s all about one mysterious name: Bade Sahab.
Ever since the first installment of Dhurandhar introduced the looming shadow of a powerful unseen villain, fans have been obsessed with decoding who this mastermind could be. Now, a fresh wave of unverified leaks has added fuel to the fire.
And the internet thinks it has cracked the code.
Is Emraan Hashmi the Man Behind the Name?
According to speculative listings circulating online, including a buzzed-about update on Letterboxd, Emraan Hashmi may be playing Bade Sahab.
Earlier rumours had suggested that Danish Iqbal — who is reportedly portraying Dawood Ibrahim in the film — could be the feared antagonist. But the new speculation hints otherwise, suggesting that Bade Sahab may be an entirely different, more layered character.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the makers or production team.
Which, of course, makes the guessing game even more thrilling.
The Villain Hamza Can’t Escape
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel sees Ranveer Singh return as Hamza Ali Mazari, also known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi.
If leaked plot details are to be believed, the sequel dives deeper into Hamza’s transformation into Sher-e-Baloch following Rehman Dakait’s death. The story reportedly centers on a counter-mission dubbed “Bleed Pakistan with 1000 Cuts,” targeting Karachi’s underworld and dismantling ISI-linked networks.
Amid rival gangs and a ruthless Major Iqbal closing in, Hamza’s mission spirals into a personal war — blurring the lines between patriot and monster.
And somewhere in this chaos stands Bade Sahab — the puppet master.
Yami Gautam’s High-Impact Cameo
Another intriguing addition to the cast is Yami Gautam, who is said to appear in a high-octane cameo as a deep-cover intelligence operative.
While details about her role remain tightly guarded, insiders hint that her character plays a pivotal part in the final act — possibly linked to the big reveal surrounding Bade Sahab.
Again, nothing confirmed — but the excitement is undeniable.
Trailer Date & Release Countdown
Industry whispers suggest the trailer may drop around March 5, strategically timed to build momentum ahead of its March 19 theatrical release.
The film boasts a massive ensemble including:
- Arjun Rampal
- R. Madhavan
- Sanjay Dutt
With scale reportedly bigger than the first film, expectations are sky-high.
Why the Speculation Feels Intentional
It’s worth noting that the marketing strategy seems to be embracing mystery. The absence of confirmation around Bade Sahab’s identity keeps fans theorising daily — generating organic buzz without dropping official spoilers.
If Emraan Hashmi is indeed playing the shadowy antagonist, it would mark a compelling shift for the actor, who has recently embraced darker, layered roles.
But until the trailer lands, everything remains in the realm of speculation.
Final Words
Is Emraan Hashmi truly Bade Sahab? Or is this another calculated misdirection by the makers?
With less than 30 days to go, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has already won half the battle — curiosity.
And if the final reveal matches the hype, this Eid might just belong to Hamza Ali Mazari once again.
Until then, the mystery of Bade Sahab lives on.
