Mumbai: ‘Dhurandhar 2’, the second installment of the Ranveer Singh starrer blockbuster spy-thriller, is one of the most awaited films of the year.
Adding to the thrill, reports hint that ‘Uri’ star Vicky Kaushal is in talks for a cameo in the film.
“Aditya has been tight-lipped about the star power he is adding to Dhurandhar 2. The director, who plans to build the Dhurandhar universe, has smartly woven in a track from Uri despite the difference in the two stories’ timelines. Vicky’s character from the war drama, which is set in 2016, is introduced in this film, although it remains unclear whether he and Ranveer’s character cross paths. The cameo includes a few action blocks,” a source was quoted as saying by Mid-Day.
However, instead of being excited, netizens seem to be disappointed with the cameo news and are praying that it is fake.
One commented, “Why am I not at all excited about this cameo? I wanted Dhurandhar to be exclusive and its own universe.”
Another wrote, “I don’t think this can happen. Dhar is a
very meticulous filmmaker; if these films were set in the same universe, he would have taken Paresh Rawal to play Ajit Doval, not Maddy.”
A third commented, “Noooo. I hope this is fake. So tired of shared universes.”
Another fan wrote, “Respectfully, WE DON’T WANT THIS. Can we please have Part 2 exclusively for Ranveer? Please leave this sequel be!”
Another commented, “This should never happen. I seriously hope this is just fake news or some PR gimmick.”
In the end-credit scene of ‘Dhurandhar’, R Madhavan is seen addressing Ranveer Singh’s character as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, leaving viewers speculate about the character’s possible connection with Aditya’s film ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike.’
In ‘Uri’, actors Vicky Kaushal and Kirti Kulhari, during a conversation in the film, are seen discussing about the latter’s on-screen husband, Captain Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who was killed during an operation.
Now, fans are wondering if the director is planning to link the two films in the sequel.
‘Dhurandhar 2’ stars Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, along with Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in supporting parts.
The sequel is scheduled to hit theatres on March 19.
