Ranveer Singh, celebrated for his role as Alauddin Khilji in the film 'Padmaavat', has recently shared that his character Hamza in 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has proven to be a greater challenge. In a conversation with his business partner Nikunj Biyani, Singh expressed that portraying Hamza required him to delve deeper into his craft, stating it demanded '300 percent' from him. This marks a notable evolution in his acting style. The film, which has received positive reviews, has its OTT rights acquired by JioHotstar for approximately ₹150 crore (around $18 million USD), making it one of the largest digital deals for a Hindi film. Unlike the first installment, which was released on Netflix, this sequel will premiere on a different platform, expected to start streaming in late May or early June 2023. The success of the original 'Dhurandhar', released in December 2025, grossed approximately ₹1300 crore (about $156 million USD) worldwide, showcasing both critical and commercial acclaim. The film is directed and produced by Aditya Dhar, alongside Jio Studios and B62 Studios.
