Dhurandhar 2 pre-sales soar as Akshaye Khanna steals the show
Ahead of its March 19 release, Dhurandhar 2 is buzzing with Rs 130 crore in pre-sales and a spotlight on Akshaye Khanna's standout swagger.
As Dhurandhar 2 inches closer to its March 19 release, the Ranveer Singh-starrer is riding a wave of record pre-sales and chatter about Akshaye Khanna's on-screen swagger. Early numbers show combined pre-sales topping Rs 130 crore for the premiere and opening day, signaling strong demand from fans and distributors alike.
Part 1 Dhurandhar became a surprise hit despite controversy, with the star-making moment not belonging to Ranveer but to Akshaye Khanna's performance. Audiences praised his effortless swag and sharper screen presence, turning headlines into box-office momentum that Dhurandhar 2 now hopes to capitalize on.
Yet the film's journey to release isn't without drama. Days before the premiere, a legal notice over a Sikh character's smoking scene has raised questions about portrayal and sensitivity, prompting the makers to defend their creative choices while navigating legal hurdles.
Despite the hiccups, the buzz continues. The team has leaned into Akshaye Khanna's acclaimed swagger as a selling point while promising a larger, more explosive sequel. Fans are waiting to see how Ranveer Singh builds on his persona and how Dhurandhar 2 lands with critics and audiences.
