The trailer of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, has ignited massive excitement among fans since its release on March 7. Packed with intense action sequences, political undertones, and gripping dialogue, the trailer has quickly gone viral across social media platforms.
As viewers dissect every frame, several fan theories have emerged regarding the film’s storyline. Much of the discussion revolves around the dual identities of characters Hamza Ali Mazari and Jaskirat Singh Rangi, both portrayed by Ranveer Singh. However, another intriguing theory has begun to gain traction, focusing on the opening scene of the trailer and its possible link to a future sequel.
Opening scene raises questions about Zahoor Mistry
The trailer opens with a striking moment featuring Zahoor Mistry, played by Vivek Sinha. In the scene, Mistry delivers a provocative line to Ajay Sanyal, a character portrayed by R. Madhavan.
The dialogue is intense and deliberately confrontational, instantly setting the tone for the espionage thriller. From a storytelling perspective, such an opening often acts as a “money shot”—a dramatic introduction designed to signal the character’s importance to the overall narrative.
Because Zahoor Mistry is historically associated with the IC 814 hijacking, fans believe the filmmakers may be using the character as a bridge between past and future events in the franchise.
Storyline may move across major historical events
The first installment of the franchise reportedly touched on several major security crises, including the Kandahar hijack, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
However, the new trailer hints that the story could extend further into more recent events. Some brief scenes appear to reference major political and security developments such as the 2016 Uri attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack. Observant fans have also pointed out possible references to political milestones like the 2014 Indian general election and the 2016 Indian demonetisation.
If the film indeed follows this timeline, the espionage drama could portray how covert operations and geopolitical tensions evolved over the years, shaping the national security landscape.
Another interesting detail mentioned in the trailer is the Lyari region of Karachi, once known as a dangerous no-go zone due to gang violence. The mention suggests that the film’s narrative may expand beyond India, bringing international elements into the storyline.
Could ‘Dhurandhar 3’ be on the horizon?
One of the biggest theories emerging from the trailer is the possibility of a third installment in the franchise.
The speculation largely revolves around Zahoor Mistry’s real-life story. After the Kandahar hijacking in 1999, reports suggested that he lived in Karachi under the alias Zahid Akhund and allegedly ran a furniture business in Akhtar Colony.
According to reports, Mistry was shot dead by unidentified attackers on March 1, 2022. If the filmmakers incorporate this incident into the timeline of Dhurandhar 2, the narrative could jump to events in 2022 or even later.
Such a timeline expansion would naturally create room for a follow-up film, potentially setting the stage for Dhurandhar 3.
Some fan theories even suggest the storyline could eventually connect to later security developments, though such claims remain purely speculative until the film releases.

With its high-stakes storyline and references to real-world events, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has already generated significant buzz—and if the fan theories prove correct, it might just be laying the groundwork for an even bigger sequel in the future.
