Vicky Kaushal returns as Major Vihaan Shergill in ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’
Vicky Kaushal is set to reprise one of his most celebrated on-screen personas as Major Vihaan Shergill in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the sequel builds on the high-octane military universe that Dhar previously established while expanding its scale with a powerful ensemble cast. Joining Kaushal are Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, making the film one of the most star-heavy action releases of 2026.
A crossover moment for fans
What has particularly excited audiences is the confirmation that Dhurandhar 2 directly connects to Kaushal’s iconic role in “URI: The Surgical Strike.” The crossover positions Major Vihaan Shergill within a broader cinematic military universe, offering continuity and deeper narrative stakes for fans of the original film.
This linkage is expected to add emotional weight and backstory to the sequel while rewarding long-time viewers with familiar callbacks and character evolution.
Bigger scale, higher stakes
Industry buzz suggests that Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge will significantly raise the bar in terms of action choreography, tactical realism, and dramatic intensity. With Aditya Dhar once again at the helm, expectations are high for a gripping blend of patriotism, personal conflict, and large-scale action set pieces.
As one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2026, the film is expected to draw massive footfalls when it hits cinemas next March.
