Dhurandhar 2 promotions to shift into high gear with trailer release on Friday: Report

This report has emerged after the makers of Yash-starrer Toxic decided to shift the release date of their film from March 19 due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Earlier, the two major films were set to release on the same day — March 19 — but with the Middle East being a major market for Kannada star Yash, the makers decided to postpone their film to June 4. The conflict in the Middle East won’t affect Dhurandhar 2 much, as its first iteration was banned in the Gulf and Pakistan, and it is unlikely that Part 2 will release in the region.

This means that Dhurandhar 2 will now release without any competition at the box office and get a chance to mint more moolah during the defining first two weeks.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar 2 is already making waves at the box office in North America. According to Sacnilk, the film has grossed $70K (Rs 58.1 lakh) for the premiere, which is scheduled for March 18. The total opening day advance sales (including premiere) have crossed $100K (Rs 83 lakh) in the US.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari aka Jaskirat Singh Rangi, R. Madhavan (as Ajay Sanyal), Arjun Rampal (as Major Iqbal), Sanjay Dutt (as SP Chaudhary Aslam), Rakesh Bedi (as Jameel Jamali), Danish Pandor (as Uzair Baloch) and Sara Arjun (as Yalina Jamali), among others.
